ORIF Surgery for Proximal Humerus Fracture ORIF Surgery for Proximal Humerus Fracture. This surgical procedure repairs a break in the proximal end of the humerus. ORIF stands for Open Reduction Internal Fixation. During this procedure, an incision will be made and a metal plate will be attached to the humerus to hold the bone in place while it heals. Preparation.

- Summary of Medial calcar of proximal humeral fracture as landmark in restoration of humeral length in case of hemiarthroplasty.. Several methods to restore the appropriate length of the humerus in the case of proximal humeral fractures treated by hemiarthroplasty have been previously published. Our study evaluates the possibility of using the medial calcar of humerus for humeral length reconstruction not based on preoperative planning.

Physical Therapy in Corpus Christi for Shoulder Welcome to Active Motion Physiotherapy’s guide to adult humerus fractures. The humerus goes from the shoulder joint to the elbow joint and must be strong enough to take a good deal of weight when you lift something or push against something. It is one of the big three bones of the body. Only the femur (thighbone) and the tibia (shinbone) are bigger and stronger.

Proximal Humeral Fracture What is is a Proximal Humerus Fracture? The humerus is one of the long bones of the arm. The distal, or bottom, end contributes to the elbow joint. The proximal, or top, end contributes to the shoulder joint. During a traumatic event, like a fall, any part of the humerus is susceptible to injury. Other bones, including the clavicle (collarbone) or scapula (shoulder blade) can also be injured.

Proximal Humerus Fractures Treatment & Management Surgical management of proximal humerus fractures may be categorized either according to fracture type (eg, Neer type, anatomic type, greater tuberosity, surgical neck, anatomic neck, articular surface, or lesser tuberosity fragments) or according to method of fixation (eg, closed reduction with no fixation, percutaneous fixation, open reduction with internal fixation [ORIF], or humeral head replacement associated with tuberosity fixation).

Humerus fracture Anatomy of the upper arm. The bone of the upper arm articulates with the shoulder blade at its proximal end and with the radius and ulna (forearm bones) at its distal end. Causes. A humerus fracture generally is the result of a fall or a blow to the arm.

Proximal humeral fractures - Emergency Department The proximal physis contributes 80% of the length of the humerus. Due to the enormous remodelling potential, most of these injuries do not require reduction. There is no role for attempted reduction in the ED. The older child with greater deformity may be treated with closed reduction.

Proximal, Mid-Shaft, and Distal Humerus Fractures The upper arm bone, the humerus, connects the shoulder to the elbow. Humerus fractures are generally divided into three types of injuries based on the location of the fracture. The top of the arm bone is called the proximal humerus, and the bottom of the bone is called the distal humerus.

- Proximal humeral fracture dislocations (A1.3, B3, and C3) require prompt reduction of the glenohumeral joint dislocation. Keep in mind that with fracture dislocations it may be necessary to convert to an open reduction procedure in order to reduce the joint. Therefore, arrange for operating room availability.

Greater Tuberosity Fractures The greater tuberosity is the prominent area of bone at the top of the humerus and is the attachment for the two large, powerful rotator cuff muscles-supraspinatus and infraspinatus. It is injured/fractured in a fall by either landing directly onto the side of your shoulder or landing with your arm outstretched.

CASTING, SPLINTING, AND BRACING limits the pronation and supination of the arm with completely preventing flexion and extension of elbow; applied as a long arm cast but extended above distal biceps; once hardened, the promixal portion of the cast is trimmed around the elbow joint; closer to distal humerus/olecranon= more movement; aka supracondylar cast.

Proximal Humeral Fracture However, a fracture to the proximal humerus is especially concerning due to its location and proximity to other important structures, such as the rotator cuff muscles, the brachial plexus (a web of nerves from the neck that supplies the arm), and certain tissues within the shoulder-joint capsule.

- Fig 1.0- Overview of the anatomical position of the humerus. The humerus is the bone that forms the upper arm, and joins it to the shoulder and forearm. The proximal region articulates with the scapula and clavicle, forming part of the shoulder joint. Distally, the humerus articulates with the forearm bones (radius and ulna), to form the elbow joint.
