Abstract :
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical results of locking anatomical plates in proximal humerus fractures and to analyze the potential complications. Material and Methods: We studied 20 patients treated with anatomical locking plates for a displaced proximal humerus fractures. Functional outcome was determined using Constant and Murley score. Results: The average overall Constant score was 68.70. At six months of follow up, we had 1 poor, 2 fair, 7 good and 10 excellent results. Average time to radiological union was 12.80 weeks. There were no implant related complications in our study. Two part fractures had better outcome as compared to three part fractures. Conclusion: Our results show that good fracture stability is achieved with anatomical locking plates. Achieving anatomical reduction prior to fixation is pertinent to achieve an acceptable reduction that gives good functional outcome.
