Article Abstract
For the treatment of proximal humerus fractures, the intramedullary nitinol scaffold is a novel implant that has gained popularity and demonstrated promising 1-year outcomes as an alternative to bone grafting for providing intramedullary structural support to the humeral head. The aim of this video is to demonstrate the insertion of this device safely, while highlighting potential pitfalls, in a 67-year-old patient with a displaced, varus angulated 2-part proximal humerus fracture.

Use of artificial intelligence for classification of fractures around the elbow in adults according to the 2018 AO/OTA classification system.
BMC Musculoskelet Disord
September 2025
Department of Clinical Sciences at Danderyds Hospital, Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, 182 88, Sweden.
Background: This study evaluates the accuracy of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system, specifically a convolutional neural network (CNN), in classifying elbow fractures using the detailed 2018 AO/OTA fracture classification system.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 5,367 radiograph exams visualizing the elbow from adult patients (2002-2016) was conducted using a deep neural network. Radiographs were manually categorized according to the 2018 AO/OTA system by orthopedic surgeons.
The Role of Immediate Arthroplasty in Elderly Tibial Plateau Fractures.
Orthop Rev (Pavia)
September 2025
Introduction/background: Complex articular fractures around the knee in the elderly patient present an ongoing challenge regarding optimal treatment. While extensive research has evaluated immediate arthroplasty following fracture of the proximal femur, distal femur, proximal humerus, and elbow, relatively little focus has been given to immediate arthroplasty following complex tibia plateau fractures.
Methods: As seen with many other fractures, arthroplasty can shorten recovery and hospital stay and allow early weight-bearing with improved mobility while minimizing complications and possible future conversion arthroplasty cost.
Effect of Social Deprivation on Treatment Strategy and Patient-Reported Outcomes of Proximal Humerus Fractures.

Introduction: Treatment approaches and functional outcomes have been shown to be influenced by a patient's socioeconomic status in certain orthopaedic pathologies. In patients with proximal humerus fractures (PHFs), this study aimed to evaluate the relationship between social deprivation and (1) treatment strategy-including the choice between surgical and nonsurgical management, as well as the type of surgical intervention-and (2) patient-reported outcomes.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 275 displaced PHFs from a level 1 trauma center.
No obvious time trend in proximal humeral fracture complexity : a cohort study from 1944 to 2020 in Malmö, Sweden.
Bone Jt Open
September 2025
Clinical and Molecular Osteoporosis Research Unit, Departments of Orthopedics and Clinical Sciences, Skåne University Hospital Malmo and Lund University, Malmö, Sweden.
Aims: The epidemiology of proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) has been described in terms of incidence, fracture complexity, and general time trends, but current literature on time trends in PHF complexity is limited. This study aims to explore possible time trends in PHF complexity and report the distribution of different types of PHF from January 1944 to December 2020.
Methods: The city of Malmö, Sweden, has one emergency hospital where acute fractures are treated, and radiographs have been saved for almost a century.

Background: The incidence of proximal humerus fractures is rising, with increasing use of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA). This study analyzed treatment trends, readmission rates, and causes of readmission.
Methods: The Nationwide Readmissions Database (NRD) was queried for admissions with a primary diagnosis of proximal humerus fracture in the U.
