[Indexed for MEDLINE] 19. J Am Acad Orthop Surg. 2017 Jan;25(1):42-52. doi: 10.5435/JAAOS-D-15-00240. Management of Acute Proximal Humeral Fractures. Kancherla VK(1), Singh A, Anakwenze OA. Author information: (1)From the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, St. Luke's University Health Network, Bethlehem, PA (Dr. Kancherla) and the Department of Orthopaedics, Kaiser Permanente, San Diego, CA (Dr. Singh and Dr. Anakwenze). Proximal humeral fractures, which typically occur in elderly persons, are among the most common fractures. A myriad of nonsurgical and surgical treatment options exist for these injuries, including short-term immobilization and early physical therapy, percutaneous fixation, plate osteosynthesis, intramedullary nailing, hemiarthroplasty, and reverse shoulder arthroplasty. The choice of treatment depends on the fracture type and severity, surgeon expertise, patient age, and patient health status. DOI: 10.5435/JAAOS-D-15-00240
