Study Of Locking Plate For Fracture Proximal Humerus
Journal Title: International Journal of Orthopaedics Traumatology & Surgical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 0
Abstract
The current study was undertaken to assess the functional evaluation of proximal humerus fracture treated with open reduction and internal fixation with locking plate. Evaluation was done in view of range of movements, possible returns of basic functions around shoulder girdle, radiological outcome and resultant remaining disability in the course of healing and after completion of healing. Twenty patients with proximal humerus fractures were treated with locking plate and followed up for 6 months for functional and radiological outcome. All 20 patients maintained good alignment post operatively. According to Constant-Murley Score, outcome was excellent in 3 patients, good in 10 patients, fair in 5 patients and poor in 2 patients. Maximum patients showed radiological union around 12 weeks post operatively. The study proved that proximal humeral internal locking system (PHILOS plate)is exciting new method of osteosynthesis for proximal humerus fractures, allowing early mobilization and gives good functional outcome
