Influence of fracture reduction on the functional outcome after intramedullary nail osteosynthesis in proximal humerus fractures

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    He concluded that anatomical reduction and stabilization using locking plates led to a significantly improved outcome compared to insufficient anatomical reduction according to Hertel`s criteria. In analogy to this work, the authors examined the functional outcome after using an intramedullary nail as treatment of proximal humerus fractures. The authors also investigated the functional outcome in relation to the radiological results of fracture reduction. Depending on the parameters displayed in Table 1, the fracture reduction was classified as "anatomical", "acceptable" or "malreduction". Schnetzke and colleagues were already able to demonstrate a positive benefit of . . .
