Il trattamento delle fratture prossimali di omero con inchiodamento endomidollare

Abstract: IntroduzioneLe fratture dell'estremo prossimale dell'omero rappresentano circa il 5% di tutte le fratture [1], con una maggiore incidenza nella popolazione anziana. Le cause più frequenti, nei pazienti con età inferiore a 50 anni, sono i traumi ad alta energia, di solito in seguito a incidenti stradali, cadute dall'alto o sport di contatto. Nella popolazione con età superiore a 50 anni, invece, l'evento fratturativo può verificarsi in seguito anche a traumi di modesta entità per la ridotta resistenza dell'osso… Show more

“…Several authors recommend surgery with an endomedullary nail as the treatment of choice in displaced fractures with two or three fragments according to Neer's classification, in that it is a good compromise between minimally invasive treatment and the insertion of a plate, reserved for younger patients. The literature contains reports of endomedullary nailing with proximal screw locking [1,2,5,7,8] or wires [4,6]. Proximal humerus nailing, used in our cases and mentioned in recent literature [9][10][11][12], has a proximal locking mechanism with a spiral blade.…”

“…Instable, non-reducible fractures of the surgical neck of the humerus often occur in advanced age [1][2][3] and are prevalent in women [2,4]. Several authors recommend surgery with an endomedullary nail as the treatment of choice in displaced fractures with two or three fragments according to Neer's classification, in that it is a good compromise between minimally invasive treatment and the insertion of a plate, reserved for younger patients.…”
