Table 1 Predictors of humeral head ischemia after intracapsular fracture of the proximal humerus [13]

From: Current concepts in locking plate fixation of proximal humerus fractures

Predictors of posttraumatic humeral head ischemia

 

 • Metaphyseal extension < 8 mm

 • Disrupted medial hinge

 • Basic fracture morphology

 • Head-split component (> 20% head involvement)

 • Angular head displacement > 45°

 • Tuberosity displacement > 10 mm

 • Glenohumeral dislocation
