Traumatology of the upper
extremity
Object and goal of the seminar
Diseases and injuries
of the upper extremity
Introduce main patological units
Diagnosis and therapy
Shoulder joint- simple ball joint
(arthrodia)
cavitas glenoidalis scapulae – caput humeri
Articulating bones:
Humerus, scapula, clavicle
Articular surface is covered
with cartilage
Shape of the articular surface
determines: range of motion,
stability
Clinical examination - anamnesis
 Complicated joint - articulatio glenohumeralis
(acromioclavicularis, sternoclavicularis)
 Clinical history – pain and its character(direction, sharp or
dull pain, permanent or short-term, mechanism of injury,
personal clinical history
 Acute pain…bursitis subacromialis, rotator cuff rupture,
inflammation, fracture, …
 Chronic pain– degenerative disease
Examination of the injured joint
– objective status
Aspection – swelling,
hematoma, patological
shape,damaged skin surface
Palpation– sensitivity,
temperature
Examination of stabilitydislocation of the joint
Range of the motion

Humeral fractures
1. Proximal humerus
2. Shaft
3. Distal humerus
Proximal humeral fractures
 occurrence at any age
 4. the most common fracture (distal radius,
proximal femur, ankle)
 2. the most common fracture of upper
extremity
 4 – 5% of all fracture
 ratio of male – female till 3 : 1
 shoulder joint– greatest range of motion
Mechanism of proximal
humeral fractures
„Low energy trauma“
„High energy trauma“
 short-term and older
population
 predominace of women
 falls from standing
at floor level
 osteoporosis
 younger population
 sport, traffic, men
 falls from height
 open fracture
 polytrauma

 joint surface of head is 3-4 times
greater than joint surface of
