The Mean

Proximal humerus fractures account for about 4% to 5% of all fractures. Following distal forearm fracture, proximal humeral fracture is the second most common upper extremity fracture. Kirschner (K)-Wires, external fixation, tension band wiring, and rush pins, intramedullary nails, ORIF with plates, and shoulder hemiarthroplasty have all been offered as therapeutic options. The purpose of this study was to assess the functional outcome and complication rates following internal fixation of proximal humerus fractures using a locking compression plate. Patients over the age of 18 with closed proximal humerus fractures or open proximal humerus fractures (Gustilo and Anderson type I, Type II) received open reduction and internal fixation with locking compression plate in the current study. The participants in this study were 60 people who had a proximal humerus fracture and were treated with open reduction and a proximal humerus locking compression plate. Patients ranged in age from 20 to 85 years old, with a mean age of 51.14 +/- 17.30 years. The age group 36–55 years (37 percent) was the most prevalent, followed by 56–75 years (30 %). The majority of patients (76.7 %) were men who had been in automobile accidents on the right side (83 %) (63 %). According to the Neer classification, the most prevalent type of fracture was a three-part fracture (53 %). The maximum union time observed in this study was 16 weeks, with a minimum of 10 weeks. The average time to union is 12.52 +/- 1.14 weeks. The mean flexion at the end of six months was 121.660 +/- 19.84. The mean internal rotation was 57.330 +/- 8.48, the mean external rotation was 530 +/- 11.98, and the mean abduction was 1180 +/- 19.36. 75.28 +/- 9.66 [Mean +/- SD] is the Mean Constant score. Pain 14.10, ADL 18.26, range of motion 22.46, and power 20 were the mean scores observed on Constant Score for its various aspects. According to the Constant score, the functional outcome of the 60 patients was as follows: 8 patients had excellent outcomes (13%), 34 patients had good outcomes (56.7%), 16 patients had moderate outcomes (26.7%), and two patients had poor outcomes (26.7%) and (3 %). Internal fixation of proximal humerus fractures with a locking compression plate results in anatomical reduction and secure fixation, resulting in a favorable functional outcome.

Objectives: The aim of our study is to study the radiological and functionaloutcome of proximal humerus fractures treated via open reduction and internal fixation usingthe proximal humerus internal locking system or PHILOS. Study Design: Case series study.Period 05 years duration from January 2011 to December 2015. Setting: Large tertiary carecentre in Karachi, Pakistan. Materials and methods: The study population consisted of n=50patients all of whom underwent open reduction and internal fixation utilizing the proximalhumeral internal locking system or PHILOS for fractures of the proximal humerus. The inclusioncriterion was all the patients with closed fractures of the proximal humerus and were belongingto 2,3 and 4 part of the Neer system of classification. Physiotherapy was started as soon aspossible for the patients. Serial radiographic imaging in two views was done at 6, 12, 24 and52 weeks postoperatively. For the functional outcome of the procedure Constant and Murleyscoring system was used. Data was analyzed using IBM SPSS version 21. Results: The studypopulation consisted of n= 50 patients of which n= 35 were males and n= 15 were femaleshaving a mean age of 38.50 years. The mean duration of follow up was 24 months. All thepatients in the study had union of fracture both radiographically and clinically, the mean timeduration for the radiographically evident union of the humerus bone was 12 weeks with a rangeof 8 to 20 weeks, the mean Constant Murley score for the functional outcome of the shoulderjoint was 79 at the final follow up with a range of 50 to 100. Complications were found in n= 9patients and varus malunion was the most common complication. In our case series we did notobserve complications such as avascular necrosis, non union or implant failure. Conclusion:According to the results of our study the proximal humerus internal locking system or PHILOSis a good method for open reduction and internal fixation of the proximal humerus fractures andprovides a stable fixation, and has lower incidence of complications such as avascular necrosis.

ABSTRACT Introduction Proximal fractures of the humerus account for about 4 to 5% of all fractures. They are the most common fractures in elderly population. Treatment of unstable, displaced, and comminuted fractures of the proximal humerus remains challenging. Objectives The present study is undertaken to evaluate the functional outcome of proximal humerus fractures treated by locking compression plate in 20 patients. Materials and methods Prospective study was done involving 20 adult patients with proximal humerus fractures admitted from October 2012 to December 2013 treated by open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with locking compression plate. The functional follow-up was done for a minimum period of 3 months and the patients were evaluated by Constant Murley scoring (CMS). Results In our series, the majority of the patients were middle-aged males, with road traffic accidents (RTAs) being the most common cause of injury, involving 2-part, 3-part, and 4-part fractures of the proximal humerus. The fractures were united in 19 patients and 1 patient had avascular necrosis (AVN). Excellent results were seen in 15% of patients, good results in 55%, moderate results in 15%, and poor results in 15% according to CMS. There were 95% union rates, 5% of AVN, and no failures. Conclusion In conclusion, locking compression plate is an advantageous implant in proximal humerus fractures due to angular stability, particularly in comminuted fractures and in osteoporotic bones of elderly patients, which allows their early mobilization.
