L K Zakrevskiĭ, and S A Lasunskiĭ

114 patients with fracture dislocations of the proximal end of humerus have been treated and observed. 83 of them were subjected to conservative and 31--to surgical treatment. Clinical, roentgenologic and radiologic evaluation of the immediate and long-term results allowed to formulate recommendations as to the selection of the treatment method of humerus fracture dislocations depending upon their type and general state of the patients.
