ใบหน้ากระแทกพื้น ไม่ปวดศีรษะ ไม่คลื่นไส้อาเจียน ปวดแขนขวา
มาก ขยับได้น้อยเนื่องจากเจ็บ ขยับปลายนิ้วได้ปกติ ไม่อ่อนแรง

Management at ER
• Check neurovascular + Immobilization (on arm sling)
• Imaging

Film right arm AP, transcapular Y view
Film skull AP, lateral, towne, water
• Medication

plasil 10 mg IV prn q 6 hr
ATB cefazolin 1 g IC stat then q 6 hr
Vaccine Tetanus vaccine 0.5 ml IM
Proximal humerus fracture
• Epidemiology
– incidence
• 4-6% of all fractures
• third most common fracture pattern seen in elderly
– demographics
• 2:1 female to male ratio
• increasing age correlates with increasing fracture risk in
women
• Pathophysiology
– mechanism
• low-energy falls
– elderly with osteoporotic bone
• high-energy trauma
– young individuals
– concomitant soft tissue and neurovascular injuries
• Associated conditions
– nerve injury
• axillary nerve palsy most common
– fracture-dislocations
• more commonly associated with nerve injuries
Anatomy
• Osteology
– anatomic neck (epiphyseal plate)
– surgical neck (weakened area)
Anatomy
• Vascular anatomy
– anterior humeral circumflex artery
– posterior humeral circumflex artery
Classification
• Neer classification (4 segments)
– greater tuberosity
– lesser tuberosity
– articular surface
– shaft
• considered a separate part if
– displacement of > 1 cm
– 45° angulation
Evaluation
• Symptoms
– pain and swelling
– decreased motion
• Physical exam
– inspection
• extensive ecchymosis of chest, arm, and forearm
– neurovascular exam
• 45% incidence of nerve injury (axillary most common)
• arterial injury may be masked by extensive collateral
circulation preserving distal pulses
Imaging
• Radiographs
• complete trauma series
– true AP
– scapular Y
– axillary
• CT scan
– indications
• preoperative planning
• humeral head or greater tuberosity position uncertain
• intra-articular comminution
• MRI
– indications
• rarely indicated
• useful to identify associated rotator cuff injury
CT
Diagnosis
• Closed fracture right proximal humerus (4 parts)
Treatment
• Nonoperative
– sling immobilization followed by progressive rehab
• indications
» minimally displaced surgical neck fracture (1-, 2-
, and 3-part)
» greater tuberosity fracture displaced < 5mm
» fractures in patients who are not surgical
candidates
– start early range of motion within 14 days
Treatment
• Operative
– CRPP (closed reduction percutaneous pinning)
• indications
– 2-part surgical neck fractures
– 3-part and valgus-impacted 4-part fractures in
patients with good bone quality, minimal
metaphyseal comminution, and intact medial calcar
– ORIF
• indications
– greater tuberosity displaced > 5mm
– 2-,3-, and 4-part fractures in younger patients
– head-splitting fractures in younger patients
Treatment
• Operative
– intramedullary rodding
• indications
– surgical neck fractures or 3-part greater tuberosity
fractures in younger patients
– combined proximal humerus and humeral shaft
fractures
Treatment
• Operative
– hemiarthroplasty
• indications
– anatomic neck fractures in elderly (initial varus malalignment
>20 degrees) or those that are severely comminuted
– 4-part fractures and fracture-dislocations (3-part if stable
internal fixation unachievable)
– rotator cuff compromise
– glenoid surface is intact and healthy
– chronic nonunions or malunions in the elderly
– head-splitting fractures with incongruity of humeral head
– humeral head impression defect of > 40% of articular surface
– detachment of articular blood supply (most 3- and 4-part
fractures)
Treatment
 Operative
– total shoulder arthroplasty
• indications
– rotator cuff intact
– glenoid surface is compromised (arthritis, trauma)
– reverse shoulder arthroplasty
• indications
– elderly individuals with nonreconstructible
tuberosities
Treatment by fracture type
Rehabilitation
• 3-phase programs
– early passive ROM for first 6 weeks
– active ROM and progressive resistance
– advanced stretching and strengthening program
Complications
• Screw penetration
– most common complication after locked plating
fixation (up to 14%)
• Avascular necrosis
• Nerve injury
– axillary nerve injury (up to 58%)
– suprascapular nerve (up to 48%)
• Malunion
• Nonunion
Complications
• Rotator cuff injuries and dysfunction
• Missed posterior dislocation
• Adhesive capsulitis
• Posttraumatic arthritis
• Infection
