Stemmed hemiarthroplasty with a suture collar and a common platform system for acute proximal humeral fractures

The use of stemmed hemiarthroplasty with a suture collar did not improve the healing of the greater tuberosity or the functional outcome. Five arthroplasties were revised with retention of the stem. This possibility could be arguments for using the Global Unite system when a stemmed hemiarthroplasty is used for acute proximal humeral fractures.
