Summary

Proximal humerus fractures are more common in older people. They can be caused by a minor trauma on an osteoporotic bone.

Non- or little-displaced proximal humerus fractures are treated orthopedically. When the displacement is more important, the choice of the treatment is crucial and the algorithm of treatment is in permanent evolution. The technology and design of the implants and the operative techniques of osteosynthesis and arthroplasty have evolved. Patients live longer, they lead a more active life and their expectations have changed. The goals of the treatment should be an increase in shoulder function and a decrease in treatment failure.

This study analyzes the results of the treatment by intramedullary osteosynthesis using a Multiloc nail from Synthes between 2012 and June 2017. The study will compare the functional results obtained after fixation by a Multiloc nail, a Philos plate or arthroplasty.The functionality of the shoulder and the quality of life will be evaluated according to the type of treatment.
