Abstract
The article presents modern literature review on arthroplasty of the shoulder joint in complex fractures of the proximal humerus. Anatomical and physiological prerequisites for the selection of hemiarthroplasty (HA) or reversible arthroplasty (RA) as a method of treatment of these fractures are critically evaluated. The essential role of social factors in the formation of a therapeutic strategy is stated. The impossibility of a universal approach in the selection of the method of surgical replacement of the joint in case of severe fractures of the shoulder is pointed out.
