Timing of shoulder arthroplasty in comminuted proximal humerus fracture, how much does it matter?

Abstract: Shoulder hemiarthroplasty is a salvage treatment for comminuted fracture of the humerus especially in elderly patients. Several factors contribute to the final outcome like bone quality and tuberosity reposition. Timing of the surgery is considered one of these factors. This study was done to assess the effect of delaying the surgery up to 2 weeks on the final outcome. This retrospective study was done on 33 patients with four-part fracture of the humerus, divided into two groups, group 1 (17 patients) who had… Show more
