Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO) for treatment of proximal humerus fractures with PHILOS plate.
METHODSFrom January 2008 to July 2009, 22 cases of proximal humerus fractures were treated with MIPPO with PHILOS plate. According to Neer classification, 7 cases had two-part fractures, 12 had three-part fractures, and 3 had four-part fractures.
RESULTSAll the 22 cases were followed up ranging from 6 to 12 months with an average of 10 months. The functional results of the shoulder, according to Neer scores, were classified as excellent in 9 cases, good in 10 cases and fair in 3 cases, with an average score was 86.4%.
CONCLUSIONPHILOS using MIPPO shows good results for treating proximal humerus fractures.
