The results of a recent Nordic collaboration study showed that there is no difference in functional results between operative and non-operative treatment in persons aged 60 or more with displaced proximal
humerus fractures.
Launonen, M.D., Ph.D., from University of Tampere in Finland, and colleagues randomly assigned 88 patients (aged ≥60 years) with displaced (>1 cm or 45 degrees) two-part surgical or anatomical neck proximal
humerus fracture to either operative treatment with a locking plate or nonoperative treatment (a collar-cuff sling for three weeks and instructed physical therapy) between February 2011 and April 2016.
The commonest cause of wrist drop was trauma with fracture of the
humerus in 39(32.8%) cases caused by motor vehicle accidents (MVAs), stab injuries, and gunshot injuries (GSIs).
Konigsberg and Adams (2014) conducted a test of the accuracy of visual pair-matching for the
humerus, femur, and tibia.
Meenakshi Parthasarathy et al [14] in
humerus more than 70% of nutrient foramina were seen in 3/5th part of bone, in radius & ulna more than 85% of nutrient foramina were seen in 2/5th part of bone.

The SP is a rare variation of the
humerus with a predilection to the left side and female populations.
* The scapula (shoulder blade) is a triangular bone that connects the clavicle and
humerus.
However, the fixation of proximal
humerus fractures with locked plates is not without difficulty.
X-ray results revealed a fracture of the
Humerus bone.
Objective: To assess the results of open reduction and internal fixation with K-wires for displaced Supracondylar
humerus fractures in children in an isolated forward treatment centre (FTC) in Neelum valley.
Musculoskeletal Clinical Regulatory Advisers LLC (MCRA) stated on Tuesday that 0rthopaedic implants company IlluminOss Medical Inc will initiate the commercialisation of the first orthopaedic de novo in the US for the treatment of impending and actual pathological fractures of the
humerus, radius and ulna from metastatic bone disease.
A malunion as a complication of distal
humerus fractures has not only been frequently linked with aesthetic problems but also with instability and dislocation of the ulnar nerve [1], ulnar nerve neuritis [2], medial triceps dislocations [3], recurrence of distal
humerus fractures or lateral condyle [4], osteoarthritis [5], and posterior dislocation of the radial head but less frequently with posterolateral rotatory instability [6-11].
Sarcoidosis of the
humerus is rare and only a few cases have been reported [7-9, 11, 13-15].
The methods of biomechanical test followed the instruction of Alexander cadaveric shoulder joint test.[sup][1] The scapula was fixed and the load was exerted on the head of the
humerus. Movement of the head of the
humerus under a certain load on scapula was used as an index of shoulder joint stability.
