There is no consensus on the duration of immobilization for nonoperatively treated proximal humeral fractures (PHFs). The main objective study was to determine differences in pain between PHFs that were with 3-week and those 1-week immobilization.A prospective randomized trial designed evaluate whether time frame (1-week [group I] versus II]) had any influence functional outcomes. Pain assessed using a 10-cm visual analog scale (VAS) administrated 1 week after fracture, at 3 weeks, then 3,...
