Fracture Of The Anatom1cal Neck And FracTure THROUGH THE UPPER EXPANDED END OF THE Humerus.--Fractures in this location may consist of a break following the line of the anatomical neck of the humerus with the small fragment intracapsular, or more commonly the line of fracture follows partly along the groove of the anatomical neck and then passes through the greater tuberosity, leaving the upper fragment partly intracapsular and partly extracapsular. There may be severe comminution with or without impaction of the fragments. The upper fragment may be displaced, rotated or entirely separated from the lower fragment, depending upon the kind and severity of the injury received. The prognosis in these cases, when treated expectantly, is poor, so far as restoration of the function of the shoulder is concerned. The imperfect reduction, the excessive callous formation, the usual age of the patient, are all strong factors in limiting the restoration of the functional activity of the shoulder-joint. The mechanical application of the autoplastic peg transplant to fractures of the upper end of the humerus is best illustrated by a longitudinal section of a prepared specimen showing the peg imbedded in cancellous bone, across the line of fracture, resting upon the bony points of leverage which support the upper frag-Section through the condyles of the humerus. ment (Fig. 53).
