Abstrak

Background: Proximal humerus fracture (PHF) in pediatrics is managed with different options: nonoperative or operative. However, proximal humerus open fractures are sparse in the literature. Case Report: We present a 9-year-old boy who presented to our institution with proximal humerus open fracture (type IIIA of Gustilo classification). After irrigation and debridement, reduction was satisfactory. We preferred to immobilize the fracture using sling- and-swathe and U-slab splint. Conclusion: Satisfactory union, angulation, and range of motion (ROM) were achieved.
