Hypoalbuminemia is a risk factor for predicting early postoperative complications after proximal humerus fracture fixation

摘要

Hypoalbuminemia is a marker for malnourishment and is associated with poor outcomes in the setting of hip fractures, periprosthetic joint fractures, and spine surgery. We hypothesized that hypoalbuminemia is associated with higher rates of early complication in patients undergoing surgical treatment for proximal humerus fractures.
