Late Prosthetic Shoulder Hemiarthroplasty after Failed Management of Complex Proximal Humeral Fractures
Figure 4
Patient no. 1: AVN of the humeral head after trasosseous suturing fixation for a 4-part valgus impacted fracture initially managed to our department. Anteroposterior radiographs in external and internal rotation showed excellent tuberosity healing 7 years postoperatively, although there were slight upward migration of the prosthesis and eccentric position in the axillary view. Despite that, the patient was clinically pain free with a Constant score of 80 points.
