Abstract;During the period from 1997 to 2004, prosthetic arthroplasty using PSS (physio-shoulder system) was performed in 5 shoulder with proximal humeral fractures. The patients were 5 women with an average age at the operation of 67.6 years (range, 57-77 years). Follow-up term after operation ranged from 3 months to 7 years (average, 3.2 years). Operative results were evaluated according to the Japan Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score. The average postoperative JOA score was 63 points (47-78 points). Although the scores of ROM were poor, pain relief was relative and activity of daily life. For aged patients, prosthetic arthroplasty is one of the useful treatment of the proximal humeral fractures.
