Randomized Controlled TrialEffect of triamcinolone acetonide on stiffness after surgical treatment of proximal humerus fractures: a randomized controlled study.
The primary aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness and safety of an intraarticular triamcinolone injection for the treatment of stiffness after the operative treatment of proximal humerus fractures. ⋯ Postoperative glenohumeral injection of triamcinolone is a safe and effective treatment modality for shoulder stiffness after internal fixation of proximal humerus fractures during the early period of rehabilitation.
