This episode explores four-part proximal humerus fractures through the case of a 64-year-old patient.

They highlight the importance of early range of motion, imaging techniques, and surgical procedures, including tendon suturing and fixation strategies. The episode also covers postoperative guidelines and bone grafting techniques for effective recovery.
