most of these injuries are either Salter I or II fractures; - frx separations of proximal humeral epiphysis occur most often between ages of 11 and 15 years; - 80% of longitudinal growth of humerus occurs in proximal physis; - large percentage of growth allows significant remodelling following injuryies of proximal humeral physis;

After 10 million years of experience we were brainwashed into believing that rigid immobilization of fractures was a prerequisite for fracture healing. Ten million years was not enough. Presentation by Sarmiento
