Objective: To analyze the epidemiological aspects of proximal humerus fractures and describe the profile of patients with proximal humerus fractures hospitalized and treated at Hospital São Paulo, between 2008 and 2013. Methods: Hospital records were retrospectively analyzed for surgically treated patients diagnosed with proximal humerus fracture. Age, gender, injury mechanism, length of hospital stay, performed treatment and associated diseases were considered. Results: From all patients studied, 52 were female at their sixth decade of life. As for the injury mechanism, fall from height was the main cause for women (88.46%) and for man it was motorcycle accidents (31.42%). Fixation with locked plate was the most frequently used treatment. Conclusion: Most patients were female in their fifth decade of life, injured mainly by fall from height. Fixation with locked plate was the most frequently used treatment and the patients were admitted for 7 days, on average. Level of Evidence II, Retrospective Study.

“…Proximal humerus fractures have an early modest jump in incidence between certain ages of 10 and 14, followed by a return to reduced numbers in young adults, then an increase after 45 years, culminating at 70 years (Kim et al, 2012). A common injury, accounting for approximately 10% (Fjalestad et al, 2005) of all fractures and 70% of humeral fractures (Basti et al, 1994;Elkowitz et al, 2002). Those fractures can cause long-term disability and are typically misdiagnosed, When compared to hip fractures (Fink et al, 2003).…”

This study aims to evaluate the efficiency of an orthotic device in treating proximal humerus fractures. The following research methods were used Orthosis user group compare to the non-orthotic user group in terms of PHFs management. Physical function in daily activities and recovery were assessed using the DASH, SPADI, SST, Muscular Strength, and CONSTANT scores, radiological assessment, as well as the Orthosis questionnaire AND mathematically (statistical data processing). Based on the data normality results and clinical outcomes, a statistically significant difference between two groups was illustrate, the orthosis user group indicating a minimum level of inability, pain severity and a lack of functional skills to execute specific activities, had higher shoulder function and activity muscle strength recovered to a normal level, more effective in preserving and promoting arm function, as well as allowing for better functional mobility. Bone union indicating that the orthosis user group allowed the fracture to heal while providing sufficient support and stability. Furthermore, an orthosis satisfaction survey found that patients were fell protected and comfortable with the new orthosis.
