EPIDEMIOLOGY AND LONG-TERM RESULTS OF SURGICAL TREATMENT OF THE PROXIMAL HUMERUS FRACTURES IN THE SEMEY CITY: A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY
Introduction. According to foreign literature the proximal humerus fractures account for about 5% of all fractures of the musculoskeletal system and 26% of all fractures of the humerus. The incidence rate is approximately 82 cases per 100,000 people. Research objective. To study the epidemiology of proximal humerus fractures in the city of Semey, compare various data such as age, gender, type of fracture, treatment method, time before hospitalization and surgery, length of stay in the hospital and analyze the long-term results of surgical treatment. Mmaterials and methods. 117 patients with various types of proximal humerus fractures, who received inpatient and outpatient treatment at the Semey Emergency Hospital for the period 2019-2020, were retrospectively studied. The international classification of fractures AO/OTA was used to classify the type of fracture. The study of long-term results was carried out 1 year or more after surgical treatment. A special patient questionnaire was developed, and the Constant-Murley scale was used to assess the recovery of the shoulder joint function. Statistical analyze of the obtained results was carried out in the SPSS 20 program, using the nonparametric tests of Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Kruskal-Wallis and Fisher. Results. The mean age was 62 years, 73% of all patients were female. Most of the injured people were residents of the city. Type 11A2.2 fractures were the most common (33%), 98% of all injuries were isolated. 82 patients were hospitalized, more than half of them were treated conservatively. Of the surgical methods, fixation with a locking plate was most often used (59%). In the long-term period, the following complications were identified: contracture of the shoulder joint - 26%, aseptic necrosis of the head of the humerus - 5% and neuropathy of the axillary nerve - 1%. The average assessment of the restoration the functions of the shoulder joint according to the Constant-Murley scale was 88 points.
