Humerus surgical neck fracture open reduction and internal fixation

The humeral surgical neck fracture of the elderly can easily trigger periarthritis and poor functional recovery after surgery. Careful consideration should be given to whether or not to perform surgery. Other indications are as follows: 1. Displaceable adduction fractures, with the joint capsule or biceps tendon sandwiched between the two folded ends, preventing manual reduction. 2. Those who have displaced abduction fractures, complicated with large tuberosity fractures, and bone fragments embedded under the acromion, which affect the abduction function. 3. Patients with displaced adduction fractures, abduction fractures, or epiphyseal fractures, who have failed manual reduction. 4. The fracture has been 2 to 4 weeks, but the reduction is not satisfactory. 5. Humeral surgical neck fracture with humeral head dislocation.
