Implication

Supports pain relief with Neer arthroplasty in complex fractures; leaves open the role of timing and repair technique in function.

Structured PICO

Does proximal humeral arthroplasty with Neer prostheses improve pain and function in patients with complex proximal humerus fractures?

P
Population
48 patients (49 shoulders) with complex acute or chronic fractures and fracture-dislocations of the proximal humerus
I
Intervention
Proximal humeral arthroplasty with prostheses of the Neer design
O
Outcome
Pain relief and active abductionpatient reported

Neer prosthesis arthroplasty provides satisfactory pain relief for complex proximal humerus fractures, though functional recovery depends on early intervention and secure tuberosity-muscle cuff repair.
