OTA2017: NMA of conservative and operative treatments for 3- to 4-part humeral fractures

Eight randomized controlled trials were included in this network meta-analysis comparing function, adverse events, and subsequent surgery rates between primary nonoperative treatment, open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), hemiarthroplasty, and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). The only significant difference observed in functional outcome favoured reverse TSA in comparison to hemiarthroplasty.
