Management of Displaced Proximal Humerus Fractures
Proximal humerus fracture is the second most common upper extremity fracture, following distal radius fracture. In patients aged >65 years, proximal humerus fracture is the third most common fracture, trailing only hip fracture and distal radius fracture.1–5 More than 80% of proximal humerus fractures are minimally displaced or nondisplaced and can be treated nonsurgically; however, the remaining displaced fractures typically require surgical intervention.
