Primary endo-prothesis of shoulder joint at heavy traumatic damages of proximal segment of a shoulder bone and their consequences

Abstract

Under our supervision there were 123 patients with terms of supervision till 7 years, with fractures,fracture-dislocations of an area of a shoulder joint and chronic damages of this area. There were 57 men and 66 women. All the patients were from 38 to 83 years old, the average age was 55,8 years. 44 patients had various kinds of an osteosynthesis and 79 - endoprosthesis of a shoulder joint. It was proved, that in patients of the senior age group, the expressed bony rarefication, a heavy accompanying pathology of a shoulderjoint (arthrosis of 2-3 grades, defeat of a joint at a number system diseases, etc.) and also at the treatment of consequences of traumas are unconditional, the preference should be given to endoprosthesis of a humeral joint, as to more effective method of treatment.
