Proximal and Distal Humerus Fractures in a Patient with Chronic Inflammatory Joint Disease Undergoing Biologic Therapy

Abstract: Bone changes occurring in people with rheumatoid arthritis increase the incidence of fractures in these patients. In the complex fractures of the 3-part proximal humerus, the treatment of choice is represented by open reduction and osteosynthesis. Because of the important role of the distal portion of the humerus in the elbow joint, fi rm osteosynthesis with angularly blocked implants provides a superior biomechanics and stability in the treatment of complex fractures even in the elderly with a diminished bone… Show more
