ABSTRACT
Objetivo: Analisar os aspectos epidemiológicos das fraturas de úmeroproximal e descrever o perfil dos pacientes com este tipo de fraturainternados e tratados em nosso serviço no período de 2008 a 2013.Métodos: Foram analisados retrospectivamente os prontuários dospacientes com diagnóstico de fratura de úmero proximal tratados cirurgicamente.Foram levadas em consideração idade, gênero, mecanismode lesão, tempo de internação, tratamento realizado e doençasassociadas. Resultados: Dos pacientes estudados, 52 eram do sexofeminino, sendo a sexta década a mais acometida. Quanto ao mecanismode trauma, a queda da própria altura foi o principal fator causalentre as mulheres (88,46%) e entre os homens foi o acidente de motocicleta(31,42%). Fixação com placa bloqueada foi o tratamento realizadocom maior frequência. Conclusão: A maioria dos pacientes foi do sexofeminino, na quinta década de vida, sendo a queda da própria alturao mecanismo de lesão mais comum. O tratamento mais realizado foia fixação com placa bloqueada e os pacientes permaneceram cercade 7 dias internados. Nível de Evidência II, Estudo Retrospectivo.
Objective: To analyze the epidemiological aspects of proximalhumerus fractures and describe the profile of patients with proximalhumerus fractures hospitalized and treated at HospitalSão Paulo, between 2008 and 2013. Methods: Hospital recordswere retrospectively analyzed for surgically treated patientsdiagnosed with proximal humerus fracture. Age, gender, injurymechanism, length of hospital stay, performed treatment andassociated diseases were considered. Results: From all patientsstudied, 52 were female at their sixth decade of life. Asfor the injury mechanism, fall from height was the main causefor women (88.46%) and for man it was motorcycle accidents(31.42%). Fixation with locked plate was the most frequentlyused treatment. Conclusion: Most patients were female in theirfifth decade of life, injured mainly by fall from height. Fixationwith locked plate was the most frequently used treatment andthe patients were admitted for 7 days, on average. Level ofEvidence II, Retrospective Study.
