ABSTRACT:
Introduction: Complex multi-fragmentary fractures of the proximal humerus are a rare type of injury, which represent a major challenge, even to the most experienced shoulder surgeons. Hemiarthroplasty is commonly accepted as the first surgical choice of treatment for three or four-part fractures of the proximal humerus.
Case Report: A 62-year-old female who has sustained complex multi-fragmentary trauma of the proximal humerus presented to the clinic after a low-energy trauma. The patient was managed with a long-stemmed shoulder hemiarthroplasty and cerclage wiring of the fracture area. A good clinical and radiological outcome was observed 5 months post-operatively.
Conclusion: We report the functional, anatomical and radiological outcome of a case of a rare type of proximal humeral fracture that was managed with a long-stemmed hemiarthroplasty and cerclage wire and has shown a good early clinical outcome.
