Secondary hemiarthroplasty results for displaced proximal humerus fractures

Abstract

Proximal humerus fractures ,which need surgical treatment, have always been subject of discussion. Open reduction + internal fixation and prosthetic replacement are alternatives of treatment. We studied 4 patients, which had been treated surgically because of displaced proximal humeral fracture. Open reduction and minimal osteosynthesis had been performed in other centers and the patients referred to our hospital because of complications of internal fixation. Secondary hemiarthroplasty operations have been done 19 weeks (12-26 weeks) after the trauma.The patients were 61.5 (58-68) years old.The average follow-up period was 30 months(range 9-61months). In one case infection occured, and in another case aseptic loosening made us remove the prosthesis.We had reached very good result in one case and limited satisfactory result in another case according to Neer criteria. Secondary surgery for failed primary treatment is technically difficult, and the results are inferior to those reported for acute humeral head replacement
