title: [Compound fractures of the proximal humerus].
abstract: This paper stresses the importance of considering reconstructive measures when dealing with complex fractures, including fracture dislocations of the proximal humerus. Mainly, we try to use "biological" techniques with minimal exploration and internal fixation for stabilization. Indications for internal fixation are compared with prosthetic replacement and primary fusion.
