Il trattamento protesico delle fratture omerali prossimali
Abstract
SHOULDER ARTHROPLASTY IN THE TREATMENT OF PROXIMAL HUMERAL FRACTURES
Shoulder arthroplasty is currently the gold standard in the treatment of complex displaced proximal humeral
fractures with high risk of avascular necrosis. Hemiarthroplasty was extensively used in the past; however, it presents
a wide variability of clinical outcomes. Recently, reverse total shoulder arthroplasty showed good results in elderly
patients with severe osteoporosis and rotator cuff tears.
