| الوصف: | Introduction Complex fractures of the proximal humerus with splitting-head component and metaphyseal propagation are very rare injuries that are difficult to treat. Preservation of the humeral head is always considered except in cases with severe comminution and compromised vascularity where shoulder hemiarthroplasty is an alternative option. Case Report We present two male patients, 57- and 62-years-old who sustained such a complex proximal humeral fracture after a high-energy injury. They both managed with long-stemmed shoulder hemiarthroplasty and cerclage wiring of the metaphyseal area. They both demonstrated good clinical and radiological outcome at 32- and 24-months postoperatively. Conclusion We report the functional and radiological outcomes of two cases of a rare proximal humeral fracture's pattern - combination of splitting-head and metaphyseal comminution – that were managed with long-stemmed hemiarthroplasty and cerclage wire and demonstrated good midterm clinical outcome. |
