Functional results following fractures of the proximal humerus

Abstract: In order to compare 1 and 3 weeks of immobilization following proximal humeral fractures a prospective controlled trial was performed in 85 patients. Clinical follow-up according to the Neer assessment system was done after 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months. One week of immobilization resulted in a better total score due to less pain during the first 3 months. After 6 months no difference in pain, function, or mobility was found and no further recovery of shoulder function was seen after 12 and 24 months.

“…In addition, the impingement-and apprehension-tests were performed. The functional outcome was evaluated by the Constant-Murley-, the Neer-and the DASH-(''disabilities of arm, shoulder and hand'') score [6,13,15,23]. Radiography of the acromioclavicular joint was exclusively performed when a subluxation or an instability was clinically suspected.…”

“…Radiography of the acromioclavicular joint was exclusively performed when a subluxation or an instability was clinically suspected. For this we used the Neer-score modified by Kristiansen [15]. For the DASH-score we used the German version, which retains the characteristics of the American original and has been confirmed as a reliable and valid instrument to measure functional disabilities of the shoulder [9,26].…”

“…Über die Dauer der Ruhigstellung existieren verschiedene Angaben. In einer prospektiv randomisierten Studie zeigte sich bei einer einwöchigen Ruhigstellung gegenüber einer 3-wöchigen Ruhigstellung kein unterschiedliches Ergebnis [20]. In unserer Klinik wird bei stabiler Fraktursituation empfohlen, nach 3-4 Tagen mit Pendelübungen am hängenden Arm zu beginnen, passive Bewegungen werden nach 14 Tagen aus Gilchrist-Verband durchgeführt, dieser wird für etwa 3 Wochen belassen.…”

“…In der Klinik bewährt haben sich unter anderem der Seidel-Nagel und der unaufgebohrte Humerusnagel (UHN). Die Vor-und Nachteile der ante-und retrograden Zugänge sind bekannt [1,6,7,8,12,20,21,40].Die bei retrograder Insertion mitgeteilten besseren Ergebnisse [5,37] dürften auf den Zugang durch die Rotatorenmanschette beim antegraden Zugang zurückzuführen sein. Bei distal liegenden Frakturen ist dieser allerdings unumgäng-lich.Bei Schaftfrakturen und Mehretagenfrakturen mit proximalem Anteil bevorzugen wir den retrograden Zugang.…”
