RESUMEN
El tratamiento de fracturas desplazadas de húmero proximal puede realizarse de manera conservadora o quirúrgica. A partir de una viñeta clínica en la cual una señora adulta mayor tiene una fractura de húmero proximal por una caída de su propia altura se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica que identificó una revisión sistemática Cochrane que compara ambas alternativas de tratamiento. Los resultados clínicos que resume esta revisión indican que el tratamiento quirúrgico no sería superior al tratamiento conservador y se asociaría a un número mayor de procedimientos quirúrgicos adicionales. (AU)
ABSTRACT
The treatment of displaced fracture of the proximal humerus can be managed surgically or conservatively. From a clinical vi-gnette in which an elderly woman suffers a proximal fracture of the humerus due to a fall from her own height, a bibliographic search was run and identified a Cochrane systematic review which compared both treatment options. The clinical results sum-marized in this review indicated that surgical treatment would not be superior to conservative management. Furthermore, surgi-cal treatment would be associated with a greater number of additional surgical procedures. (AU)
