摘要

The rising incidence of proximal humeral fractures has made this an important topic in the treatment reality of trauma surgery. Given the variety of treatment options available, the question arises as to what extent patient age influences the choice of treatment and, consequently, the functional outcome. In our approach the morphological features of the fracture and individual patient characteristics form the foundation for determining whether surgical or conservative treatment should be pursued. Whenever possible, joint-preserving reconstruction should be the goal in younger patients. In older patients, the implantation of reverse shoulder arthroplasty is the treatment of choice. Joint replacement enables early mobilization of older patients, facilitating a swift return to daily life. Looking ahead, a further increase in the fracture incidence and a corresponding rise in the rate of necessary surgical interventions are anticipated.
