Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Twenty-six hemiarthroplasties were performed for acute three- and four-part proximal humerus fractures between March 1986 and December 1991. Postoperative pain, active range of motion, and function were evaluated in 22 patients at a mean follow-up period of 30 months (range 12 to 66 months) with the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons evaluation form. Seventy-three percent of patients reported only slight or no pain. Active forward elevation averaged 107 degrees, external rotation averaged 31 degrees, and the average internal rotation was to the second lumbar vertebra. Strength and stability were rarely problematic. Seventy-three percent of patients reported difficulty with at least three of 15 functional tasks tested. Lifting, carrying a weight, and using the hand at or above shoulder level were the most common limitations. This study indicates that hemiarthroplasty for acute three- and four-part fractures generally can be expected to result in painfree shoulders. However, recovery of function and range of motion are much less predictable. |
