Proximal Humerus Fracture

In this lecture we are tackling proximal humerus fractures! We go through a case, shoulder anatomy, the Neer classification and treatment options. We hit all of the high yield points that you will encounter on your rotations and below we provided some questions that are frequently asked on rotations. Everything you need all in one video, brought to you by Student to Stud. As always, if you have any questions, shoot us an email.

What structures compose the parts of the proximal humerus? What defines a “part”? What is the primary blood supply to the humeral head? What is the innervation to teres minor? What are the fracture characteristics that predict poor prognosis of humeral head ischemia? What are the muscles that create the border of the quadrangular space? What structures traverse the quadrangular space? What is an alternative view for the axillary view? What is the indication to fix a greater tuberosity fracture? How many centimeters from the coracoid process does the musculocutaneous nerve enter the biceps? What is the most common complication with ORIF of proximal humerus fractures? What nerve is most at risk in a proximal humerus fracture? What is the most common deformity after fracture fixation has failed?
