description <h4>Purpose</h4>Network meta-analysis (NMA) is a comparatively new evidence-based technique in medical disciplines which compares the relative benefits associated with multiple interventions and obtains hierarchies of these interventions for various treatment options. We evaluated the effectiveness and safety of open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), hemiarthroplasty (HA), reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA), intramedullary nailing (IN) and non-operative treatment (NOT) of displaced proximal humeral fractures in adults using Bayesian NMA of data from clinical trials.<h4>Method</h4>PUBMED, EMBASE and CENTRAL in July 2016 were searched and clinical trials that evaluated interventions for treating adults with displaced proximal humeral fractures were identified. Methodological qualities of studies were assessed by the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and risk of bias using the Cochrane Collaboration tool.<h4>Result</h4>Thirty-four trials involving 2165 participants were included in the study. RSA had significantly the highest Constant score and lower total incidence of complications than ORIF, HA and IN. Moreover, RSA resulted in a lower incidence of additional surgery than ORIF and IN. The rank of treatments in terms high Constant score was: RSA, ORIF, IN, NOT and HA. The rank for reduction in total incidence of complications was: RSA, NOT, HA, IN and ORIF. For lowering the risk of additional surgery, the rank was: RSA, NOT, HA, IN and ORIF.<h4>Conclusion</h4>RSA had the highest probability for improving functional outcome and reduction in the total incidence of complications and requiring additional surgery among the five interventions for treating adults with displaced proximal humeral fracture.
