Outcome Analysis of Locking Plate Fixation in Proximal Humerus Fracture.
INTRODUCTION Proximal humerus fractures account for approximately 5% of all fractures. Stable minimally displaced fractures can be treated nonoperatively but the management of displaced fractures remain controversial with various modalities of treatment available. Locking plates provide stable fixation and enable early postoperative mobilization specially in osteoporotic proximal humerus fractu...
متن کاملLocking plate fixation for proximal humerus fractures.
Locking plates are increasingly used to surgically treat proximal humerus fractures. Knowledge of the bone quality of the proximal humerus is important. Studies have shown the medial and dorsal aspects of the proximal humeral head to have the highest bone strength, and this should be exploited by fixation techniques, particularly in elderly patients with osteoporosis. The goals of surgery for p...
متن کاملOutcome analysis following removal of locking plate fixation of the proximal humerus
BACKGROUND Concerning surgical management experience with locking plates for proximal humeral fractures has been described with promising results. Though, distinct hardware related complaints after fracture union are reported. Information concerning the outcome after removal of hardware from the proximal humerus is lacking and most studies on hardware removal are focused on the lower extremity....
متن کاملCurrent concepts in locking plate fixation of proximal humerus fractures
Despite numerous available treatment strategies, the management of complex proximal humeral fractures remains demanding. Impaired bone quality and considerable comorbidities pose special challenges in the growing aging population. Complications after operative treatment are frequent, in particular loss of reduction with varus malalignment and subsequent screw cutout. Locking plate fixation has ...
متن کاملOutcome of precontoured locking plate fixation in distal humerus fractures
Aim: Outcome of precontoured locking plates fixation in Distal Humerus Fractures. Material and methods: Twenty-five patients with distal humerus fractures were treated with ORIF with pre-contoured locking plates. There were 16 males, 9 females, with an average age of 42.8 years (2159years). As per the AO classification performance score, the results obtained were graded as excellent or good res...
