Management of Periprosthetic Fractures of the Humerus
Management of humeral shaft fractures about a shoulder arthroplasty stem is challenging. Fractures can occur intraoperatively or postoperatively. In most patients, surgical management is indicated, consisting of open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with or without implant revision. Surgical management is technically demanding and requires ample exposure to avoid nerve damage. Carefully planned fixation is required to ensure stability and maximize fracture healing.
