Malunion of proximal humerus fractures causes pain and disability. Surgical reconstruction, though complex, can reduce pain and improve shoulder function.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Traumatology

Background:

  • Malunion of proximal humerus fractures presents significant challenges.
  • It often leads to persistent pain and functional limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the etiology, classification, diagnosis, and management of proximal humerus fracture malunion.
  • To discuss surgical reconstruction techniques and outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on proximal humerus fracture malunion.
  • Description of surgical approaches including bony prominence excision, tuberosity osteotomy, and shoulder arthroplasty.

Main Results:

  • Operative management is technically demanding with potential complications.
  • Successful reconstruction can alleviate pain and enhance shoulder function.
