Proximal humerus fracture

2017-07-25 10:10:23
My father aged 77 years fell from bed two months ago while sleeping caused shoulder fracture and dislocation of bone to upper side. Doctors suggested to avoid surgery at this age. He is having regular pain and feeling discomfort due to the dislocation of bone to the upper side looking clearly even after wearing shirt. I am living in Dwarka.

Sir, for a young patient, this needs emergent treatment. But for this age, conservative treatment is the choice. Operative results are equivalent. Would advise to trust your doctor and follow conservative treatment only
