[Efficacy comparison of conservative and surgical treatment in proximal humerus fractures : a monocentric retrospective study].

Proximal humerus fractures (PHF) are common, they represent 4 to 6 % of all fractures. They usually affect the elderly (above 60 years) and most the time, women (M/F ratio = 3/7). In general, they are not or slightly displaced and their treatment is thus commonly conservative (75 to 90 % of cases).
