  2. Proximal humerus fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proximal_humerus_fracture

    A proximal humerus fracture is a break of the upper part of the bone of the arm . [3] Symptoms include pain, swelling, and a decreased ability to move the shoulder . [ 1 ] Complications may include axillary nerve or axillary artery injury.

  3. Surgical neck of the humerus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surgical_neck_of_the_humerus

    The surgical neck of the humerus is a bony constriction at the proximal end of shaft of humerus. It is situated distal to the greater tubercle and lesser tubercle , and proximal to the deltoid tuberosity .

  4. Humerus fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humerus_fracture

    Proximal fractures are classified into one of four types of fractures based on the displacement of the greater tubercle, the lesser tubercle, the surgical neck, and the anatomical neck, which are the four parts of the proximal humerus, with fracture displacement being defined as at least one centimeter of separation or an angulation greater ...

  6. Supracondylar humerus fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supracondylar_humerus_fracture

    Extension type of supracondylar humerus fractures typically result from a fall on to an outstretched hand, usually leading to a forced hyperextension of the elbow. The olecranon acts as a fulcrum which focuses the stress on distal humerus (supracondylar area), predisposing the distal humerus to fracture. The supracondylar area undergoes ...

  7. Medial epicondyle fracture of the humerus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_epicondyle_fracture...

    Studies generally use the x-ray appearance of the arm to determine how displaced a fracture is. The definition of ‘displaced fractures' are variable, with anything from 2mm to more than 15mm; [4] however x-rays on which this assessment is made are known to be hugely misleading with fractures showing little displacement having >10mm displacement using CT scans.

  8. Dislocated shoulder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dislocated_shoulder

    An inferior dislocation of the shoulder after an automobile accident. Note how the humerus is abducted. Also present is a fracture of the greater tuberosity. Inferior dislocation is the least likely, occurring in less than 1%. This condition is also called luxatio erecta because the arm appears to be permanently held upward or behind the head. [18]

  9. Anatomical neck of humerus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_neck_of_humerus

    The anatomical neck divides the head of the humerus from the greater and lesser tubercles of the humerus. It gives attachment to the capsular ligament of the shoulder joint except at the upper inferior-medial aspects.
