New Method of Surgical Treatment of Patients with a Fracture of the Proximal Humerus on the Background of Critical Osteoporosis

Fractures associated with osteoporosis, due to the high prevalence and high percentage of related complications, are a serious problem for modern traumatology and orthopedics. Among all injuries of the upper extremities, fractures in the proximal humerus occur in 32-65 % of cases. Fractures of the p...

Sumario:Fractures associated with osteoporosis, due to the high prevalence and high percentage of related complications, are a serious problem for modern traumatology and orthopedics. Among all injuries of the upper extremities, fractures in the proximal humerus occur in 32-65 % of cases. Fractures of the proximal humerus account for 4-5 % of all fractures and 50 % of fractures of the humerus. The aim of the research was to develop a new method for the surgical treatment of fractures of the proximal humerus against the background of osteoporosis and to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of the new method. A pilot study was conducted to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of surgical treatment of patients with a fracture of the proximal humerus. The results showed that the new "Method for the surgical treatment of patients with a fracture of the proximal humerus" is clinically effective and safe. Additional intramedullary bone stabilization of the proximal humerus with a fibular autograft allows for more rigid and stable fixation of fragments, especially in the presence of critical osteoporosis. The early restoration of passive and active movements in the shoulder joint made it possible to fully restore the function of the limb in a severe fracture of the proximal section.
