Abstract
The good prognosis of proximal humeral fractures in children and adolescents is explained by the anatomy of the shoulder and the physiology of the proximal humeral epiphysis. The treatment of these injuries therefore is mainly conservative. Based on the results of 24 patients operated between 1970 and 1980 a therapeutic concept concerning indication, timing and operative technique is proposed.
