Management of Proximal Humeral Fractures in the Nineteenth Century: An Historical Review of Preradiographic Sources

Abstract: Background The diagnosis and treatment of fractures of the proximal humerus have troubled patients and medical practitioners since antiquity. Preradiographic diagnosis relied on surface anatomy, pain localization, crepitus, and impaired function. During the nineteenth century, a more thorough understanding of the pathoanatomy and pathophysiology of proximal humeral fractures was obtained, and new methods of reduction and bandaging were developed. Questions/purposes I reviewed nineteenth-century principles of (… Show more

“…Treatment in the nineteenth century was hallmarked by the Hippocratic method of reduction followed by bandaging and delayed splinting. In the twentieth century, further surgical and anesthetic advancements sparked attempts at ORIF [26]. The first documented shoulder arthroplasty was reportedly performed by Jules Emile Pean in 1893 for tuberculosis [27].…”

“…The shoulder joint and its associated joints form one of the most complex joint systems of the human locomotor system. Its large range of motion is made possible by the interplay of 5 joints: sternoclavicular-joint, acromioclavicular-joint, glenohumeral joint, thoracoscapular joint and subacromial joint [1] . The proximal humerus consists of the head, anatomical neck and the greater and lesser tuberosities.…”
