Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: Evaluate the results of treatment of closed proximal humerus fractures using locking plate at 108 Central Military Hospital. Subjects and Methods: A descriptive study of 49 patients who underwent open reduction and internal fixation with PHILOS plate between January 2021 and December 2023. There were 24 men and 25 women with a mean age of 55 years. There were 20 patients in the age group of > 60 years. Result: Neer classification by fracture group: Group III accounted for 20.4%, Group IV for 69.4%, Group V for 4.1% and Group VI for 6.1%. Functional evaluation of the shoulder at final follow-up was done using Neer Shoulder Score. The mean follow-up period was 18 months. The results were good in 29 patients (59.2%), fair in 19 patients (38.8%), average in 1 patient (2%), and no patients had poor results. During the follow-up, no cases of infection, avascular necrosis or nonunion were noted.
