1 Introduction Fractures of the greater tuberosity of the humerus, which often result from high-energy trauma with or without associated dislocation, account for 20% of proximal humeral fractures.

Proximal Aspect The ball-shaped top of the humerus is called the humeral head. The greater tubercle of the humerus is a bony prominence where three of the rotator cuff tendons attach. The other ...

Proximal humerus HA is classically indicated for elderly subjects with low to moderate functional demand, or patients around the sixth decade of life who are not candidates for open reduction and ...

Ricardo Donners et al found in a study that the greater humeral tuberosity erosions, infraspinatus muscle tendonitis, capsulitis, synovitis, and bone marrow oedema were common MRI findings in chronic ...

Figure 1 Region of investigation. The humeral head height (H) was the distance between the highest point of the humeral head and the most distal margin of the articular surface. In the humeral head ...

In Study I, reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) was compared with hemiarthroplasty (HA), which was the established type of arthroplasty for proximal humeral fractures for many years. The ...

Fractures to the distal humerus most often occur in young men from high-energy trauma; or older women, aged 60 years and over, who typically have osteoporosis and whose fracture results from a ...

Computed tomography scanning revealed a 62° humeral varus deformity, with 41° coming from the humeral diaphyseal bow and 21° from the proximal humerus. Figure 1: Preoperative physical examination ...
