Outcome of Proximal Humerus Fractures :Anatomic Neck Fractures vs Surgical Neck Fractures

January 22, 2017 updated by: Xiaoxiao Zhou
From April ,2014 to April 2015,31 patients with fractures of the proximal humerus were treated in our hospital. According to anatomic neck fractures (ANF) and surgical neck fractures (SNF), we divided the patients into two groups. All the patients were followed at least 1 year.
