Abstract
- Displaced proximal humerus fractures that are isolated to the greater tuberosity or the surgical neck are commonly treated operatively. While multiple techniques are described that can lead to reliable outcomes, the proficiency of the surgeon to obtain an anatomic reduction remains the most valuable facet of proximal humerus fixation. In this chapter, we review the surgical options for 2-part proximal humerus fractures and discuss potential pearls and pitfalls of treatment.
