Purpose: An extended length of stay following open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) for proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) is associated with increased patient morbidity and health care costs. The primary purpose of this study was to identify risk factors for an extended length of stay following ORIF for PHF.
Methods: All patients who underwent ORIF for PHF between 2015 and 2021 were queried from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP) database.
