Abstract:
Four-part displaced fractures, four-part fracture-dislocations, impression fractures of the articular surface involving greater than 50% of the head, and head-splitting fractures are to be best treated by primary prosthetic replacement. 3 primary prosthetic replacements were performed for the treatment of the proximal humeral fractures(l case of four-part displaced fracture, 2 cases of fracture-dislocation) and all cases were followe( up at least 3 years. Case II had excellent result, case I was satisfactory, and case III failure by Neers numerical ratin method. There were proximal subluxation roentgenologically in case I and III.
