Immediate mobilization safe and efficacious in treating proximal humeral fractures .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Immediate Mobilization Compared with Conventional Immobilization for the Impacted Nonoperatively Treated Proximal Humeral Fracture: A Randomized Controlled Trial
J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2007 Dec;89(12):2582-9074 patients with an impacted proximal humeral fracture were randomized to undergo one of two nonoperative treatments. The first group underwent an immediate mobilization therapy (within 72 hours of the fracture) while the second group underwent a conventional immobilization protocol. Results indicated that the nonoperative immediate passive mobility treatment is safe and more efficacious when compared to the conventional immobilization treatment.
