Management of Proximal Humeral Fractures with Philos Plate- A Clinical and Radiological Outcome
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Proximal humeral fractures are, an increasingly common fractures, accounting for 4%–5% of all and 45% of humeral fractures. 85% of these fractures are minimally displaced, effectively treated by immobilization followed by early range of motion exercises; the remaining 15% of these are either displaced or unstable. Neer’s classification evaluates the proximal humerus in four parts, any translations more than 1 centimeter or angulations more than 45 degrees in any part of the humerus are defined as displacement. PHILOS plate, since made of titanium is lighter with a good biocompatibility has an additional advantage over other implants for ORIF. The analysis of radiological and functional outcome of proximal humeral fractures managed with philos plate was the aim of this study. Results showed an excellent constant murley score in16%, good result 60%, fair result in 16% and poor in 8%. Mean constant murley score was 59.4. we concluded that proximal humerus locking plate (PHILOS) gives satisfactory functional outcome in patients with proximal humerus fractures
