ABSTRACT
Patients with complex proximal humeral fractures suffer from poor bone quality,impaired blood supply of humeral head and a high risk of osteoporosis. With unpredictable clinical outcome,the treatment of complex proximal humeral fractures is challenging. Shoulder arthroplasty including hemiarthroplasty and reverse shoulder arthroplasty plays an essential role in the treatment of proximal humeral fractures. However,the indication and clinical outcome of shoulder arthroplasty are controversial. Combined with literature and authors' own clinical experiences,arthroplasty options and related influencing factors for the treatment of complex proximal humeral fractures are detailed under consideration of patients' age,quality of tuberosities,status of rotator cuff and revision surgery,etc.,which is helpful to define the extent of surgery and improve clinical outcome.
