Abstract
These are fractures of the proximal humeral segment. Altogether they represent 2.95% of the total series of surgically treated fractures that we have reviewed.
Because of the scarcity of cases treated with internal fixation by the authors, this chapter is editorially abridged. We also want to remark that the classification of the fractures of the segment 11- is the most debated and the one with least consensus of the Comprehensive Classification of Fractures [9], and it will probably be modified in the future.
