  2. Proximal humerus fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proximal_humerus_fracture

    This nerve is the most commonly injured nerve in proximal humerus fractures due to its location close to the proximal humerus. [12] Muscles that attach to the proximal humerus and can cause a deforming force on fracture fragments include the pectoralis major, the deltoid, and the rotator cuff muscles. [11]

  3. Reverse shoulder replacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_shoulder_replacement

    The native humerus and scapula bones are prepared using precise machining to accommodate their respective implants. At the end of the procedure, the subscapularis muscle is typically repaired, although some surgeons advocate not repairing this muscle due to the excess tension placed on it by the altered mechanics of the reverse shoulder design.

  4. Humerus fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humerus_fracture

    Proximal fractures are classified into one of four types of fractures based on the displacement of the greater tubercle, the lesser tubercle, the surgical neck, and the anatomical neck, which are the four parts of the proximal humerus, with fracture displacement being defined as at least one centimeter of separation or an angulation greater ...

  5. Shoulder replacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoulder_replacement

    One example of a commonly used regional anesthetic is an interscalene brachial plexus block and it has been used in a number of shoulder procedures including instability repairs, proximal humeral prosthetic replacements, total shoulder arthroplasties, anterior acromioplasties, rotator cuff repairs, and operative treatment of humeral fractures. [24]

  6. Traction (orthopedics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traction_(orthopedics)

    Buck's traction, involving skin traction. It is widely used for femoral fractures, low back pain, acetabular fractures and hip fractures. [2] Skin traction rarely causes fracture reduction, but reduces pain and maintains the length of the bone.

  8. Surgical neck of the humerus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surgical_neck_of_the_humerus

    A fracture in this area is most likely to cause damage to the axillary nerve and posterior circumflex humeral artery. Damage to the axillary nerve affects function of the teres minor and deltoid muscles, resulting in loss of abduction of arm (from 15-90 degrees), weak flexion, extension, and rotation of shoulder as well as loss of sensation of ...

  9. Injury of axillary nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Injury_of_axillary_nerve

    Injury of axillary nerve (axillary neuropathy) is a condition that can be associated with a surgical neck of the humerus fracture.. It can also be associated with a dislocated shoulder [1] or with traction injury to the nerve, which may be caused by over-aggressive stretching or blunt trauma that does not result in fracture or dislocation. [2]
