Article Synopsis
- Proximal humeral fractures (PHF) are becoming more common and require careful assessment for co-morbidities and injuries, using advanced imaging techniques like 3D CT for better surgical planning.
- Non-operative treatment is successful for many stable PHFs, especially in elderly patients, while surgical options like hemiarthroplasty and reverse shoulder replacements are considered for more complicated cases or when the quality of bone is poor.
- Reverse shoulder replacement is increasingly preferred over hemiarthroplasty in treating PHFs, particularly for elderly patients with rotator cuff issues, as it often leads to better functional outcomes.
