Standard Fixation

Complex three part proximal humerus fractures in osteoporotic patients are a particularly challenging injury to manage as the associated bone loss reduces the efficacy of standard fixation techniques. Locking plates are commonly used for three part fracture fixation. However, a clinical study conducted by Owsley et al [1] reports complications with 57% of patients over 60 years of age. In cases of severe bone loss an intramedullary (IM) bone graft implant can be used in conjunction with locking plates to improve fixation and to provide structural stability. The limited and variable availability of bone grafts mean high cost and variable material properties.

Surgical intervention is sometimes required to ensure correct reduction and functionality of the limb. Due to the location of the shoulder and humerus next to the torso and the relative infrequency of such procedures, they can represent a challenge for the radiographer. This chapter covers a selection of orthopaedic procedures involving the shoulder and proximal humerus, covering clavicle plating, tuberosity fracture fixation with screws, plating of the proximal humerus and shoulder, plating of the humeral shaft, and antegrade and retrograde intramedullary nailing of the humerus. Each procedure includes images that demonstrate the position of the C-arm, patient, and surgical equipment, with accompanying radiographs demonstrating the resulting images.
