Overview

Prospective observational study evaluates outcomes of locking plate surgery for proximal humerus fractures in adults, indicating a significant recovery rate.

Key Points

  • This study aims to assess the functional and radiological outcomes of proximal humerus fractures treated with locking plates.
  • Prospective observational study including 140 adults with closed proximal humerus fractures (PHFs).
  • Patients underwent open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) using proximal humerus internal locking system (PHILOS) plates.
  • Logistic regression was used to analyze factors affecting functional outcomes.
  • Functional outcomes were excellent in 33.6%, good in 24.3%, and poor in 12.9% of patients.
  • Most patients were male, with a mean age of 48.6 years and a standard deviation of 14.7 years.
  • Radiological union and other variables including comorbidities, operative duration, and hospital stay were statistically analyzed.
