There continues to be controversy about treatment options and decision making when treating proximal humerus fractures. A team of shoulder specialists breaks down classification and indications for surgery, as well as technical trips for fixation and replacement. We’ll also discuss important pitfalls in management.

Learning Objectives

• Classify proximal humerus fractures (PHF) with a mechanistic classification system (FJD-Mayo)
• Know important aspects of fracture reduction and fixation
• Have a framework for reverse total shoulder arthroplasty for fracture, and pearls for effective completion
• Should recognize common complications in surgical treatment of PHF
