Proximal humeral fractures with a severe varus deformity treated by fixation with a locking plate.
We treated 47 patients with a mean age of 57 years (22 to 88) who had a proximal humeral fracture in which there was a severe varus deformity, using a standard operative protocol of anatomical reduction, fixation with a locking plate and supplementation by structural allografts in unstable fractures. The functional and radiological outcomes were reviewed. At two years after operation the median...
متن کاملA Pitfall in Fixation of Distal Humeral Fractures with Pre-Contoured Locking Compression Plate
Anatomically precontoured locking plates are intended to facilitate the fixation of articular fractures and particularly those associated with osteoporosis. Fractures of the distal humerus are relatively uncommon injuries where operative intervention can be exceptionally challenging. The distal humeral trochlea provides a very narrow anatomical window through which to pass a fixed-angle locking...
متن کاملPathological fractures of the proximal humerus treated with a proximal humeral locking plate and bone cement.
Bone loss secondary to primary or metastatic lesions of the proximal humerus remains a challenging surgical problem. Options include preservation of the joint with stabilisation using internal fixation or resection of the tumour with prosthetic replacement. Resection of the proximal humerus often includes the greater tuberosity and adjacent diaphysis, which may result in poor function secondary...
متن کاملLocking plate fixation with and without inferomedial screws for proximal humeral fractures: a biomechanical study.
PURPOSE. To compare the efficacy of locking plate fixation with and without inferomedial screws in maintaining the reduction of a proximal humeral fracture. METHODS. 22 synthetic humerus models were used. A standardised 3-part proximal humeral fracture with a 4-mm wedge segment was created and fixed with a locking plate and screws with (n=11) and without (n=11) inferomedial screws. The intrafra...
متن کاملPhilos plate fixation for proximal humeral fractures.
PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy of Philos plate fixation for proximal humerus fractures. METHODS Functional outcomes of 31 men and 27 women aged 36 to 73 (mean, 61) years who underwent Philos plate fixation for proximal humeral fractures were retrospectively reviewed. Indications for surgery were 3-part (n=33) or 4-part (n=25) closed proximal humeral fractures with angulation of more than 45...
