The purpose of the study is to see if there is a connection between a proximal humerus fracture dislocation direction and the likelihood of developing avascular necrosis. Utilizing a retrospective cohort from the last ten years we hope to bring consenting patients back for a single visit to have x-rays and complete patient reported outcome measures to assess for evidence of avascular necrosis.
