Philos 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...
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 کاملPhilos plate fixation for displaced proximal humeral fractures.
PURPOSE To evaluate the treatment outcome of Philos plate fixation for displaced proximal humeral fractures in 27 consecutive patients. METHODS 6 men and 21 women aged 22 to 85 (mean, 56) years underwent Philos plate fixation for displaced proximal humeral fractures. 11 patients were aged 60 years or younger and 16 older than 60 years. All fractures were closed with no associated injuries and...
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 proximal humerus fractures treated by PHILOS plate internal fixation. Experience of a district general hospital.
Proximal humerus fractures have been a challenge to achieve stable fixation. PHILOS (Proximal Humerus internal locking system) is part of the latest generation of locking compression plates for proximal humeral fracture fixation. We aim to assess the clinical and functional outcome of proximal humeral fractures (2-part, 3-part and 4-part) treated with the PHILOS plate. We prospectively reviewed...
