Achtergrond van het onderzoek
The proximal humerus fracture is a common injury, but the optimal management is much debated. The decision for operative or nonoperative treatment is strongly influenced by patient specific factors, regional and cultural differences and the preference of the patient and surgeon. The aim of this study is to compare nonoperative treatment and operative treatment of proximal humeral fractures where disagreement exists about optimal management.
