Background and patients The outcome of the impacted varus proximal humeral fracture has not been described. We present the results of a prospective analysis of 99 such fractures.Results This fracture was relatively common in the elderly population and non-operative treatment sometimes resulted in increased varus angulation. Decreased shoulder function was associated with increasing age but not with increasing varus angulation. After nonoperative management the outcome was good, regardless of the degree of varus, 1 year after fracture. Age was the main predictor of outcome. Physiotherapy did not improve outcome.Downloads
