Abstract:
Objective To analyze the postoperative complications and long-term curative effect analysis of elderly patients with proximal humerus fractures by locking proximal humerus plate,and provide reference for such patients’clinical treatment.Methods A total of 92 elder patients with proximal humerus fractures in our hospital from September 2012 to September 2014 were included in the research.They were divided into control group (who were treated with anatomical bone plates)and observation group (who were treated with locking plates),according to different sugrical methods.The postoperative complications situation and long-term curative effect analysis of two groups were compared.Results The proportions of humerus head varus malunion and humerus head necrosis of observation group were less than those of control group,with statistically significant difference(P <0.05).And after six months of follow-up,the excellent rate of observation group were 89.1%,significantly more than control group 67.4%,with statistically significant difference(P <0.05).Conclusion The loc-king plate used in elderly patients with proximal humerus fractures can effectively reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications,and it has excellent long-term curative effect.
