Abstract

Objective: We examined the clinical, functional and radiological outcomes in patients 65 years and older who underwent primary shoulder hemiarthroplasty for a 4-part acute fracture of the proximal humerus, and evaluated efficacy of treatment, patient satisfaction and our procedural deficiencies.

Patients and Methods: Eighteen patients were treated with primary hemiarthroplasty for acute proximal humerus Neer type-IV fracture. During follow-up, active forward elevation, abduction, internal/external rotation of the shoulder were assessed.
