Proximal humerus fractures are becoming more common due to the aging of the population, and more related scientific research is also emerging. Biomechanical studies attempt to optimize treatments, taking into consideration the factors involved, to obtain the best possible treatment scenario. To achieve this, the use of finite element analysis (FEA)...

Context 1
... geometry of the proximal humerus can be classified into four main sections: the humeral head (articular surface), greater and lesser tuberosities, and the humeral shaft (Figure 1). The humeral head articulates with the glenoid cavity to form the glenohumeral joint, which is the main joint of the shoulder's joint system (glenohumeral, acromioclavicular, scapulothoracic, and sternoclavicular joints) and allows shoulder movement. ...
