Radiographic assessment of inferior subluxation of the humeral head. A distance of ≥ 1 cm between the humeral anatomical neck level and the glenoid inferior edge level was defined as the presence of humeral head inferior subluxation. Postoperative radiograph images after surgery using a cannulated cancellous screw (A) or tension band wiring (B)

Background
Inferior subluxation of the humeral head is frequently observed immediately after surgery for proximal humerus fractures; however, the incidence and risk factors of inferior subluxation after osteosynthesis for isolated greater tuberosity fractures remain unsolved. Additionally, the postoperative course of inferior subluxation has not be...

Fracture of the humeral head and posterior or anterior dislocations of the shoulder joint due to osteoporosis are rare. Bilateral shoulder fracture dislocation has recently begun to appear in the literature. Moreover, the occurrence of this lesion following an ischemic stroke appears to be another new element in its ethiopathogenesis. Here, it was...
Background
In proximal humeral fractures, the medial calcar is often considered an important stabilizing structure. When the medial calcar is disrupted, some patients may have accompanying humeral lesser tuberosity comminution that has not been noticed. To investigate the impacts of comminuted fragments of lesser tuberosity and calcar on postoperat...
Background and Objectives: Posterior fracture dislocations are rare. There is currently no uniformity regarding treatment. Therefore, outcomes are difficult to compare. We evaluated clinical and radiological outcomes of patients with humeral head posterior fracture dislocation treated with an open posterior reduction and then fixed with a biomechan...
(1) Background: The treatment of proximal humeral fractures (PHFs) is debated controversially. Current clinical knowledge is mainly based on small single-center cohorts. The goal of this study was to evaluate the predictability of risk factors for complications after the treatment of a PHF in a large clinical cohort in a multicentric setting. (2) M...
Background:
Age-related changes in the medial column (MC) of the proximal humerus have a major impact on fracture management; however, the changes in the morphological features remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the age-related changes in the morphological features of MC and present the morphological grading.
Methods:
One hundred co...
