Displaced proximal humeral fractures. Selecting treatment, avoiding pitfalls
Hawkins RJ. Angelo RL. x Orthopedic Clinics of North America. [JC:okn] 18(3):421-31, 1987 Jul. x This article, based on years of modified classification of displaced x proximal humeral fractures, presents the treatment alternative for each x type of injury and the problems to be avoided with each method. The x authors recommend reduction and fixation in active patients with displaced x proximal humeral fractures. Percutaneous pin fixation for two-part x fractures, tension band fixation for three-part fractures, and x hemiarthroplasty for four-part fractures are advocated. x
