LPHP-Philos-PHN Conservative Treatment
Summary
The aim of the study is to compare the results regarding fracture healing
and functional outcome after the treatment of proximal humeral fractures
with the four different treatment methods after 12w./6months and 12 months
based on radiological evaluation as well as the "constant score" and the
"neer score".

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Osteochondroma
A cartilage-capped benign tumor that often appears as a stalk on the surface of bone. It is probably a developmental malformation rather than a true neoplasm and is usually found in the metaphysis of the distal femur, proximal tibia, or proximal humerus. Osteochondroma is the most common of benign bone tumors.
Shoulder Fractures
Fractures of the proximal humerus, including the head, anatomic and surgical necks, and tuberosities.
Kidney Tubules, Proximal
The renal tubule portion that extends from the BOWMAN CAPSULE in the KIDNEY CORTEX into the KIDNEY MEDULLA. The proximal tubule consists of a convoluted proximal segment in the cortex, and a distal straight segment descending into the medulla where it forms the U-shaped LOOP OF HENLE.
Shoulder Dislocation
Displacement of the HUMERUS from the SCAPULA.

Proximal Femur Locking Compression Plates Versus Trochanteric Nails
The purpose of this study is to compare the abductor muscle strength measured with a dynamometer in patients with reverse oblique inter- or subtrochanteric fractures treated either with a...
Effectiveness of Intensive Rehabilitation on Shoulder Function After Proximal Humerus Fracture
The fracture of the proximal humerus represents 4% of the fractures encountered in clinics and it must be treated surgically. Thus, the aim of the surgical treatment is to maintain bone al...
The purpose of the study is to compare two common ways of rehabilitating after proximal humerus fractures treated non-operatively.
In many cases, the existing locking bolts and screws in intramedullary nails do not provide sufficient stability. Due to the play between screw and nail, the reduction can be lost and the...
Long Term Follow up of the DVR-A Locking Plate
The surgical treatment of wrist fractures (distal radius bone) has been changed by the introduction of a new plate design, the locking plate. This results in improved fixation and stabili...

Locking plate fixation for proximal humerus fractures.
Locking plates are increasingly used to surgically treat proximal humerus fractures. Knowledge of the bone quality of the proximal humerus is important. Studies have shown the medial and dorsal aspect...

Background and purpose There is considerable uncertainty about the optimal treatment of displaced 4-part fractures of the proximal humerus. Within the last decade, locking plate technology has been co...
