Treatment options for proximal humeral fractures include nonoperative treatment, open reduction internal fixation, humeral hemiarthroplasty, or reverse shoulder arthroplasty. Reverse shoulder arthroplasty offers a predictable solution for pain relief and functional recovery in challenging fractures among elderly patients.
Treatment of proximal humeral fractures can be challenging. The surgeon's options include nonoperative treatment, open reduction internal fixation, humeral hemiarthroplasty, or reverse shoulder arthroplasty. Reverse shoulder arthroplasty adds an option that can lead to predictable pain relief and good functional outcomes in treating challenging fractures in elderly patients and managing fracture complications and sequelae.
