The objective of this study was to investigate the radiographic and clinical outcomes of intramedullary nail fixation with a special focus on the presence of calcar comminution.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>In this retrospective study of patients with displaced proximal humeral fractures that were treated by intramedullary nail between January 2018 and July 2021, fracture morphology and the calcar integrity were noted on preoperative radiographs. Patients were divided into two groups according to calcar integrity. During follow\u2010up, radiological assessment and functional outcome, including the deltoid tuberosity index (DTI), neck shaft angle (NSA), visual analog scale (VAS), the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, the Simple Shoulder Test (SST) score, active and passive range of motion, were performed. A Student t\u2010test and univariate logistic regression analysis was used.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 83 patients (54 female, 29 male) had complete follow\u2010up (average, 12.8\u2009months; range, 10 to 33\u00a0months) and functional assessment in our study. The average age was 58.6\u2009years (range, 20 to 89\u2009years). The mean loss of NSA was 4\u00b0 (range, 0\u00b0\u201312\u00b0) and no significant difference was found between two groups (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.27). DTI had an average of 1.50\u2009\u00b1\u20090.19 (range 1.13\u20132.04). Patients with intact calcar achieved greater range of forward elevation (129.06\u2009\u00b1\u200911.91 vs. 121.05\u2009\u00b1\u200911.97, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.01), and higher SST scores (8.61\u2009\u00b1\u20091.85 vs. 7.37\u2009\u00b1\u20092.22, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.02). Two groups showed similar outcomes in VAS, ASES score, and range of abduction. One patient demonstrated a proximal interlocking screw cutting through and osteonecrosis of the humeral head, who underwent a second surgery for screw removal. There were no cases of infection, malunion, nonunion, nerve injury, subacromial impingement, or rotator cuff tear during the study period.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Intramedullary nail can favorably be used to manage proximal humeral fractures with good early radiographic and functional outcomes, even for those with comminuted calcar.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/os.13616","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,14]],"date-time":"2022-12-14T04:36:52Z","timestamp":1670992612000},"page":"2007-2015","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Intramedullary Nail for Treatment of Proximal Humeral Fracture: A Credible Fixation in Comminuted Calcar"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4274-8223","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Huichao","family":"Fu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Traumatology, Trauma Center, Shanghai General Hospital  Shanghai China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jianhong","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Traumatology, Trauma Center, Shanghai General Hospital  Shanghai China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7280-6455","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaoming","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Traumatology, Trauma Center, Shanghai General Hospital  Shanghai China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13018-021-02551-x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jseint.2021.08.006"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jse.2017.05.029"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jse.2019.03.034"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/2151458517750516"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.injury.2021.12.022"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jse.2018.03.009"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00264-021-05217-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005131-199402000-00006"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/BOT.0000000000000909"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/14651858.CD000434.pub5"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00264-020-04544-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fsurg.2022.978798"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/21514593211043961"},{"issue":"12","key":"e_1_2_6_16_1","first-page":"802","article-title":"Ost\u00e9osynth\u00e8se des fractures de l'hum\u00e9rus proximal: plaque ou clou?
