Long-term mortality rates in patients with proximal humerus fracture managed acutely with reverse shoulder arthroplasty and hemiarthroplasty
PHF patients receiving acute arthroplasty face higher long-term mortality, influenced by demographic and clinical factors. These findings underscore the need for optimised care and healthcare policy adjustments for this vulnerable group. Further research is required to establish causality and improve outcomes.
