Overview
Brief Summary
Randomly assign patients with fractures of the proximal humerus to conservative treatment to a group in which a control radiological study will be carried out after a week of evolution of the fracture and to another group in which this control radiology will not be carried out. In the evolutionary controls, it will be determined whether there are differences between the two groups in the final functional result, in the perception of quality of life, and in the number of complications derived from the fracture.
