A Study Examining the Functional Outcomes of Conservative and Surgical Management of Three- and Four-Part Proximal Humerus Fractures in Individuals Aged Over 50 Years

Proximal humerus fractures are common in elderly patients and are often associated with osteoporosis. The management of these fractures, particularly three-part and four-part fractures, remains controversial, with conservative and surgical treatments both employed. This study compared conservative and surgical management's functional outcomes in subjects over 50 years.
