Abstract:
Fractures below proximal humeral prostheses are rare and their successful management presents technical difficulties. Closed treatment usually results in nonunion. A case illustrating this disabling complication is reported and a literature review is presented that summarizes the classification, treatment options, and complications of these uncommon fractures.
