Term Description

Measuring the bone density of the humerus helps determine the best approach to treatment for patients being considered for shoulder surgery and those with humeral fractures. Patients needing shoulder surgery are at higher risk of local osteoporosis due to lack of mechanical stimulation, and general osteoporosis is a common risk factor for proximal humerus fractures in patients aged 65 and over. Determining the presence of osteoporosis pre-operatively can help decide if different repair techniques and hardware, such as threaded anchors, should be used. PMID: 25027108
