In the article is summarized experience of early functional treatment of children with extension trans-condyle fractures of humerus proposed by the authors. The proposed method allows to achieve complete restoration of the damaged elbow joint function in 40 +/- 2 days after the fracture reposition and to obtain excellent functional results with 85% of patients.

Stress shielding in reverse shoulder arthroplasty using a proximally coated stem for proximal humeral fractures: Does it have clinical relevance?
Shoulder Elbow
January 2025
Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery Department, Hospital de Terrassa, Terrassa, Barcelona, Spain.
Objectives: To evaluate the clinical significance of stress shielding in patients who have undergone an uncemented reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) with a proximally coated stem for complex proximal humeral fractures (PHF) comprising 3 or 4 parts, assessed at 2 years postoperatively. Additionally, this study aims to examine the correlation between tuberosity healing and clinical outcomes.
Methods: Single Centre.

Introduction And Importance: Multifocal fractures in a single upper extremity represent a significant clinical challenge, often resulting from high-energy impacts such as motor vehicle accidents or severe falls. These injuries require complex, multifaceted approaches in management, spanning initial acute care to long-term rehabilitation. This paper examines the complexities of diagnosing, treating, and rehabilitating multifocal upper extremity fractures, highlighting the importance of timely intervention and a multidisciplinary approach to maximize functional recovery, minimize long-term disability and the prognosis.

Curr Rev Musculoskelet Med
January 2025
, San Francisco, USA.
Purpose Of Review: This review aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the nonoperative management of Gartland Type II fractures in pediatric patients.
Recent Findings: Supracondylar humeral fractures (SCF) are one of the most common traumatic fractures in pediatric populations, characterized as transverse fractures at the distal humerus between the medial and lateral columns. Early studies strongly opposed closed reduction and casting as an acceptable treatment modality for Gartland type II fractures as an early case series showed high rates of complications; however, more recent studies have suggested better outcomes.
Is there an association between birth characteristics and fractures in young adults? The HUNT Study, Norway.
Osteoporos Int
January 2025
Department of Neuromedicine and Movement Science, NTNU - Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway.
Unlabelled: This population study investigated the association between birth characteristics and fracture risk in 11,099 young adults (aged 19-54 years). Our findings indicate that birth weight, gestational age, and birth weight for gestational age were not associated with fractures in the wrist, humerus, hip, and spine in this population.
Purpose: Skeletal development starts during fetal life, and it is estimated that most bone formation occurs in the 3rd trimester.
Is surgical treatment better than non-surgical treatment for proximal humeral fracture in elderly people? A meta-analysis and meta-regression.
Eur J Orthop Surg Traumatol
January 2025
Medical Science Faculty of the State University of Campinas, Campinas, Brazil.
Purpose: This systematic review, meta-analysis, and meta-regression aims to determine whether surgical treatment for proximal humeral fractures is superior to non-surgical treatment regarding pain, functionality, complications, and new surgery rates.
Methods: We systematically reviewed clinical trials from PubMed (MEDLINE), EMBASE, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane up to April 2024. Data comparing surgical or conservative of proximal humeral fractures were retrieved for outcomes of pain, functionality, adverse events, and new surgeries.
