A study of the benefits and complications after ORIF (open reduction and internal fixation) with proximal humerus locking plate in fracture proximal humerus
Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: The major goal in the treatment of the proximal humerus fracture is to promote a pain free, mobile, and stable functional shoulder joint. ORIF can offer excellent outcomes when performed in the appropriate patient and utilizing proper techniques. Aim: To evaluate the benefits and complications after ORIF with PHLP in fracture proximal humerus. Material and Methods: A total of 30 patients with proximal humerus fracture treated with proximal humeral locking plates were studied for benefits and complications. Results: Out of 30 patients, 22 patients (73.3%) had excellent, good or satisfactory results, but in 8 (26.6%) the outcome was poor. Eight (26.6%) complications were noted resulting in poor functional outcome. There were 2 (6.66%) cases of subacromial impingement. 3 patients (9%) had stiffness of shoulder joint in which 2 patients had ipsilateral distal end of radius fractures and in third patient there was significant varusmalunion. Conclusion: The use of locking proximal humeral plate is a good option for displaced proximal humeral fractures with less complications.
