Overview

Prospective study reports functional outcomes after surgical management using PHILOS plate in humerus fractures, indicating reliability with low complication rates.

Key Points

  • At one year, 33.3% of patients achieved excellent functional outcomes after surgery for complex fractures.
  • The mean age of patients was 50.95 years, with road traffic accidents being the leading cause of injury (66.7%).
  • This prospective study involved 24 patients undergoing open reduction and internal fixation using the PHILOS plate.
  • The results highlight the importance of stable fixation and rehabilitation, with low rates of complications such as nonunion or avascular necrosis.
