Neurovascular Injuries following Displaced
Proximal Humerus Fractures:
Case Reports and Review of Literature
Mujeeeb Rohilla1, Ather Siddique2, Rehan Abbass Khan3
ABSTRACT
Displaced fractures of the proximal part of the humerus with injury of the brachial plexus are not very common. We present two cases of displaced proximal fracture of humerus with median nerve damage. Both the cases were having vascular injuries as well. One case had injury to profunda brachii artery which was ligated while the other presented with absent radial pulse.Neural injuries were treated conservatively with good functional results.
KEY WORDS: Neurovascular injuries, Proximal humerus fractures.
