Background: Proximal Humerus Fracture (PHF) is the third most common type of fracture, commonly occurring in older people, with a higher incidence in those over 50 years of age. Diagnostic imaging includes X-rays of the shoulder and a CT scan to aid surgical treatment and pre-operative surgical planning. The CT scan is performed in combination with the new applications of artificial intelligence in image reconstruction. Cost is a major limitation when it comes to AI technology, therefore public hospitals in Greece cannot afford it. The novelty of our article is that we investigate a practical way to reconstruct CT images of proximal humerus fractures by using the Volume Rendering Technique algorithm to generate images of great accuracy and detail, especially in the absence of Deep Learning Reconstruction systems. Case presentation: We present the case of a 48-year-old worker who was injured after falling from a ladder and was diagnosed with a PHF and a scapula fracture. Three-dimensional (3D) image reconstruction of the shoulder joint showed a fracture line with high accuracy. The surgeons were supported in the decision to transfer the patient to a specialized hospital for treatment of severe fractures. Conclusions: The Volume Rendering Technique algorithm is a helpful tool that allows physicians to create three-dimensional images of proximal humerus fractures with great accuracy. The process is performed in a very short time and allows surgeons to proceed with preoperative planning of the shoulder.

Fracture Mapping is a new technology developed in recent years. This technology visually representing the morphology of fractures by overlaying fracture lines from multiple fracture models onto a standard model through three-dimensional reconstruction. Fracture mapping has been widely used in acetabular fracture, proximal humerus fractures, Pilon fracture, tibial plateau fractures, and so on. This technology provides a new research method for the diagnosis, classification, treatment selection, internal fixation design, and statistical analysis of common fracture sites. In addition, the fracture map can also provide a theoretical basis for the establishment of a biomechanical standardized fracture model. Herein, we reviewed various methods and the most advanced techniques for fracture mapping, and to discuss the issues existing in fracture mapping techniques, which will help in designing future studies that are closer to the ideal. Moreover, we outlined the fracture morphology features of fractures in various parts of the body, and discuss the implications of these fracture mapping studies for fracture treatment, thereby providing reference for research and clinical decision-making on bone and joint injuries to improve patient prognosis.
