A Prospective Study

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Proximal humerus fractures account for 4-5% of all fractures. They are the commonest fractures in elderly population, which ranks the third, after hip and distal radius fractures respectively. Displaced fractures treated by pinning, cancellous screws, intra-medullary nails, proximal humeral plates and hemiarthroplasty. The proximal humerus interlocking system (PHILOS) plate is anatomically contoured and the threaded screw heads are locked into the threaded plate holes which allow early rehabilitation. The aim of this study is to evaluate results and complication of PHILOS.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> This a prospective study, conducted at JLN Medical College, Ajmer from 1st January 2017 to 31st July 2018. 36 patients of displaced proximal humerus fractures were included and operated at hospital with PHILOS plating. We evaluate Intra-operative events, post-operative radiological evaluations and bony union by NEER’S score and complications.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Functional results according to NEER’S score were found that out of 36 patients, 11 patients (30.5%) had excellent outcome, 19 patients (52.7%) have satisfactory outcome, 3 patients (8.33%) had unsatisfactory outcome and 3 patients (8.33%) had poor outcome.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Internal fixation of proximal humerus fractures with use of PHILOS yields reliable results when utilized correctly. To achieve gold standard results, early physiotherapy is must which can only be done by stable fixation, ORIF with PHILOS provides more stable construct with anatomical reduction.</p>

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Proximal humerus fracture accounts for about 5% of all fractures in recent advances proximal humerus fractures are often managed operatively with PHILOS plate which provides greater angular stability and study was aimed at to assess functional outcome of PHILOS plate fixation in proximal humerus fractures.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> Prospective study of 31 cases of proximal humerus fractures admitted and operated in Kempegowda Institute of Medical Sciences Hospital November 2017 to May 2019 of which 4 patients died due to medical comorbidities so 27 patients were studied.

Most of the patients had excellent outcome (52%) followed by good (26%), fair (8%) and poor (15%) outcome according to CM scoring and according to DASH scoring 20.21 was mean score and mean CM score was 77.62. Complications observed were impingement in 1 patient, avascular necrosis in 2 patient and non union in 1 case.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> We conclude that the use of PHILOS plate for the fixation of proximal humerus fractures is a good device as it provides rigid fixation and early mobilisation and prevented complications. Precontoured locking plates work on the principle of angular stability, divergent screws, less disruption of vascularity and less chances of plate failure.</p>

Abstract Background. We investigated the therapeutic effects associated with the combined use of lateral and posterior plates for treating complex proximal humerus fractures. Methods. We used in vitro biomechanical experiments and computer three-dimensional finite element analyses to investigate the biomechanical properties of combined lateral and posterior plates when treating proximal humerus fractures. Eighteen left SAWBONE (Pacific Research Labs) humerus bones were randomly divided among three groups. We established a medial column defect model for surgical neck fractures in each bone specimen and achieved fixation using a proximal humerus locking plate. Each of the three groups used a different fixation method. Group A used a Proximal Humerus Internal Locking System (PHILOS) plate support only. Group B used the PHILOS plate with a posterior locking plate (but without medial column support screws). Group C used the PHILOS plate with both the posterior locking plate and medial column support screws. We subjected three sets of specimens to axial compression, torsion, shear compression, model failure, fatigue testing, and micro-strain analyses. Results and conclusions. In vitro biomechanical analysis and three-dimensional finite element analyses showed that the PHILOS plate, in combination with the posterior locking plate and medial column support screws (Group C), had significantly enhanced biomechanical properties when compared with traditional single plate supports.
