Fratture periprotesiche di spalla: trattamento conservativo
Abstract
PERIPROSTHETIC SHOULDER FRACTURES: CONSERVATIVE TREATMENT
The incidence of periprosthetic shoulder fractures varies from 1 to 3%. The following criteria must be considered for a
conservative treatment: (1) stability of the prosthesis; (2) scrambling; and (3) localisation. Conservative treatment
plays a marginal role, but knowledge of these criteria will help the surgeon choose the correct treatment, in order to
avoid surgery that, sometimes, may be useless and potentially dangerous.
