title: [Conservative and surgical therapy of humerus fractures of the collum chiruricum].
abstract: 111 patients with humeral fractures of the surgical neck were examined 10 months after trauma. In cases of minor dislocation no significant difference between conservative and operative therapy could be observed, whereas in cases of major dislocation operative intervention lead to better functional results. Thus fractures of the surgical neck with major dislocation should be operated upon.
