“…Those leading to poor patient outcome is avascular necrosis, stiffness of the shoulder and Malunion [26][27][28] 2(5.12%) of our patients developed avascular necrosis of humerus head. One patient was moderately pain free and another patient had constant and prolonged pain, which caused stiffness of shoulder, affecting activity of daily living after first six months of treatment, which gradually improved to some extent without any active surgical intervention.…”

“…We observed no substantial loss of reduction or change in fracture pattern requiring reclassification of the fracture to a higher grade. In 28% of the one-part fractures treated nonoperatively, there was minimal displacement (\ 5 mm) in the surgical neck region based on comparisons of sequential radiographic images [26]. In fractures treated operatively, all 51 fractures united.…”

“…The next most common injury was an isolated greater tuberosity fracture (12 patients, 24%). The remaining two patients had lesser tuberosity fractures associated with an anatomic neck fracture [26]. For all fractures treated nonoperatively, the degree of displacement, angulation, and/or reduction of the fractures fell within the parameters of a one-part fracture pattern.…”

“…Approximately 80 % of proximal humerus fractures are minimally displaced low energy injuries and are at low risk for future displacement, nonunion, or avascular necrosis, and have a high union rate with conservative management [13][14][15]. But for fractures with more severe displacement, the decision for the type of treatment becomes more difficult.…”
