Damage analysis of the tendon-capsular apparatus of the shoulder joint in multifragment fractures of the proximal humerus

Abstract

The research relevance is determined by the detection frequency and complexity of surgery for proximal shoulder fractures in different age categories. Objective: The study aims to compare the proposed treatment method of the presented diagnosis with the traditional acceptable one. Methods: Patients with a diagnosis of proximal shoulder fracture were selected for the study and the corresponding results were obtained using clinical research methods. The total number of patients in different categories of fractures and dislocations shows the variety of complications doctors may encounter when treating humerus injuries. The breakdown of patients by diagnosis is as follows: two-fragment fracture – 88 patients; two-fragment fracture-dislocation – 31 patients; three-fragment fracture – 140 patients; three-fragment fracture with dislocation of the articular surface of the humeral head – 23 patients; four-fragment fracture – 47 patients; four-fragment fracture with dislocation of the articular surface of the humeral head – 17 patients.
