Abstract:
Objective The purpose of our study was to evaluate the treatment of proximal humeral fractures with AO Philos plate. Methods From June 2007 to May 2009, 29 cases of proximal humeral fractures were fixed with AO Philos plate. According to Neer classification, 11 cases were two-part fractures, 16 cases three-part fractures and 2 cases four-part fractures. Results Twenty-nine cases were followed 9-16 months (averaging 11.3 months). The results were evaluated with Neer's evaluation system: 13 patients were graded as excellent,12 as good, 4 as fair. Conclusion AO Philos plate is less invasive comparing with traditional method. It can provide solid fixation, permit early functional rehabilitation and lead to a compromising clinical result.
