What do these findings mean?
fractures
This trial provides no evidence that surgery is superior to nonoperative treatment in the treatment of displaced 3- or 4-part PHF involving the surgical neck in older adults.These results suggest that the current practice of performing surgery on the majority of displaced 3- or 4-part proximal fractures of the humerus in older adults may not be beneficial.The limitation is the trial was ended before intended group sizes.
