Abstract

We treated 5 proximal humeral fractures associated with advanced osteoporosis with conventional plate and screw fixation augmented by intramedullary bone cement. These osteosyntheses remained stable during a 1 -year follow-up and the outcome was similar to that after fractures in younger patients without osteoporosis.
