To evaluate early outcomes (within 1 year) for geriatric proximal humerus fractures managed nonoperatively or with reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA).
Retrospective cohort.
Academic level 1 trauma center, level 2 trauma/geriatric fracture center.
PATIENTS/INTERVENTION: Seventy-one patients with proximal humerus fractures that underwent nonoperative management or RSA, matched by age, comorbidity burden, and fracture morphology.
Patient-reported outcomes, range of motion, and complications rates within 1 year of treatment.
RSA patients demonstrated greater active forward flexion (aFF) and external rotation compared with nonoperative patients throughout the first 6 months after treatment ( P < 0.05 for all). RSA patients achieved satisfactory ROM (>90 degrees aFF) at higher rates than nonoperative patients (96.2% vs. 62.2%, P < 0.01). RSA led to significantly lower shoulder pain and PROMIS pain interference scores throughout the first year post-treatment ( P < 0.05). PROMIS physical function scores were also higher in the RSA group at 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year compared with the nonoperative group ( P < 0.05 for all). Similar complication rates were experienced in both groups (nonoperative = 8.9%, RSA = 7.7%; P = 0.36).
In an age, comorbidity and fracture morphology matched analysis, treatment of proximal humerus fractures with RSA is associated with greater shoulder ROM throughout the first 6 months of treatment, decreased pain, and improved physical function compared with nonoperative management, without significant differences in short-term complications. These results suggest that RSA may be superior to nonoperative management during the early recovery period for proximal humerus fractures.

评估老年肱骨近端骨折经非手术或反肩关节置换术(RSA)治疗的早期结果(1 年内)。
回顾性队列研究。
学术 1 级创伤中心,2 级创伤/老年骨折中心。
患者/干预措施:71 例肱骨近端骨折患者,行非手术治疗或 RSA 治疗,按年龄、合并症负担和骨折形态匹配。
治疗后 1 年内患者报告的结果、活动范围和并发症发生率。
与非手术组相比,RSA 组患者在治疗后前 6 个月的主动前屈(aFF)和外旋角度更大(所有 P < 0.05)。RSA 组患者达到满意的 ROM(>90°aFF)的比例高于非手术组(96.2%比 62.2%,P < 0.01)。RSA 在治疗后 1 年内显著降低了肩部疼痛和 PROMIS 疼痛干扰评分(所有 P < 0.05)。与非手术组相比,RSA 组在治疗后 3 个月、6 个月和 1 年的 PROMIS 躯体功能评分也更高(所有 P < 0.05)。两组的并发症发生率相似(非手术组 8.9%,RSA 组 7.7%;P = 0.36)。
在年龄、合并症和骨折形态匹配分析中,与非手术治疗相比,RSA 治疗肱骨近端骨折在治疗的前 6 个月内与更大的肩部 ROM、减轻疼痛和改善躯体功能相关,且短期并发症无显著差异。这些结果表明,在肱骨近端骨折的早期恢复期间,RSA 可能优于非手术治疗。
