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 …

Proximale Humerusfrakturen sind häufige Verletzungen. Die Frage der optimalen
osteosynthetischen Behandlung instabiler und dislozierter 2-bis 4-Segmentfrakturen ist …

Secure fixation of displaced proximal fractures of the humerus is a challenging problem. A
total of 32 patients with acutely displaced three-or four-part proximal fractures of the …

A valgus impacted, four-part humerus fracture is an uncommon but important injury to
recognize in patients with orthopaedic trauma. Recognizing this fracture pattern and …

Lateral approaches to the proximal humerus have been limited by the position of the axillary
nerve. Extensive surgical dissection through a deltopectoral approach may further damage …

Background Operative treatment of displaced proximal humeral fractures often results in
poor functional outcome. We report a technique that provides improved rotational stability of …

Twenty-three patients with acute displaced three-and four-part fractures of the proximal
humerus, including seven patients with associated shaft involvement, were treated with the …

Background: Proximal humeral fractures that are treated with locked plate constructs remain
susceptible to collapse into a varus position. The objectives of the present study were to …

INTRODUCTION: The availability of angular-stable plate/screw systems led to an euphoric
use of these implants for the treatment of displaced proximal humerus fractures. The high …

Aim To evaluate the functional outcome of locking plate fixation and to compare the results
of two approaches used for fixation. Materials and Methods This prospective study was …
