Abstract :
Introduction : To assess the results of fixation of fracture proximal end humerus in elderly osteoporotic individuals with medical co–morbidities.
Materials and Methods : We did a retrospective analysis of 21 patients with fracture proximal end humerus operated with Closed Reduction and UMEX fixator application.
Results : All the 21 patients achieved union of the fracture. None of the patients suffered from any Anaesthesia related complications or required prolonged ICU stay. All patients achieved functional range of motion of the shoulder with supervised physiotherapy.
Conclusion : Closed reduction and UMEX fixator application is a safe, less morbid, reliable and effective procedure for the treatment of proximal end humerus fractures in elderly osteoporotic individuals with multiple medical co–morbidities.
