TREATMENT OF DISPLACED PROXIMAL HUMERAL FRACTURES IN ELDERLY PATIENTS
Abstract
We randomised 40 elderly patients of mean age 74 years with displaced three- or four-part fractures of the humerus to either conservative treatment or tension-band osteosynthesis. At one year and after three to five years, clinical follow-up showed no functional differences between the two groups of patients, with optimal function achieved within one year. There were major complications only in the surgically-treated group. Radiological review showed that surgery had improved the position of the fractured humeral head, but this was not reflected in improved function. Semi-rigid fixation with tension-band wiring of displaced multifragment fractures of the proximal humerus in the elderly did not improve the functional outcome when compared with conservative treatment.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
