Background: Proximal humerus fractures are one of the most common fractures of the upper limb in older individuals and can be managed by multiple modalities, from ORIF to K-wire fixation, and can even be managed conservatively.
Materials and Methodology: Thirty patients with proximal humerus fractures were treated with K-wire fixation at a tertiary care center and followed up for six months to evaluate the functional outcome using the Neer scoring system.
Results: The patients who underwent K-wire fixation had a significant functional outcome in terms of range of motion, pain relief, and anatomical reduction.
Conclusion: K-wire fixation is a simpler, less invasive, and less time-consuming surgical modality of treatment with a favorable functional outcome for proximal humerus fractures.
