Background: The treatment of unstable displaced proximal humeral fractures, especially in
the elderly, remains controversial. The objective of the present prospective, multicenter …

BACKGROUND: Several studies reported high failures rates after internal fixation of
proximal humerus fractures. Loss of reduction and screw cut-out are the most common …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine what factors influence the
maintenance of fracture reduction after locked plating of proximal humerus fractures, and …

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of proximal humerus
locking plates (PHLP) and to clarify predictors of loss of fixation. Design: Retrospective …

In a prospective study, 28 patients with 29 proximal humeral fractures were treated with the
Locking Proximal Humerus Plate from 2001-2002. Most of these fractures were complex …

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to identify specific complications of locking plate
fixation of proximal humerus fractures. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Seventy-threee adult …

Metallic implants are often involved in the open reduction and internal fixation of fractures.
Open reduction and internal fixation is commonly used in cases of trauma when the bone …

Locking plates are fracture fixation devices with threaded screw holes, which allow screws to
thread to the plate and function as a fixed-angle device 1-3. These plates may have a …
