Journal Title: International Journal of Orthopaedics Traumatology & Surgical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction:Most common fracture in shoulder girdle in adults is Proximal humerus fractures. Surgical treatment is increasing with PHILOS using Delto-pectoral or Deltoid splitting approaches. Aims:To compare the outcome of PHILOS using the two approaches. Materials and methods:Patients (n=60) with proximal humerus fractures, analysed prospectively, managed surgically using the two approaches, deltopectoral (n=30) and Deltoid split (n=30). Results analysed on the basis of Constant-Murley Score at minimum follow-up period of 16 months (range 12 to 35 months). Results:The mean Constant-Murley Score in Delto-pectoral group is 56 compared to 62 in Deltoid split group (p=0.72). The time to union in the two groups being 11.7 and 11.9 weeks respectively. Conclusion: Outcome of the two approaches are comparable, can be used as per surgeons preference
