Résumé
32 cases of A3 type fracture of the proximal humerus are presented. They were treated surgically by reduction and internal fixation with a proximal humeral nail or a locking plate. The results were satisfactory at most of the patients concerning the residual pain (mean Constant-Murley pain score: 11,88/15), the strength (mean Cons- tant-Murley strength score: 15,13/25) and joint mobility of the shoulder (mean Constant-Murley mobility score: 20,88/40). The most important complications were rotator cuff disorders (34,4%), varus consolidation of fracture (31,3%) and prominent hardware to the joint (12,5%). A3 type fractures of the proximal humerus are injuries that evolve normally well, when the surgical technique is performed correctly.
