Abstract:
[Objective]To explore the indications and operative techniques for comminuted fracture of proximal humerus. [Method] Twelve patients with fracture of proximal humerus were chosen, observation was made after locking proximal humerus plate fixation with anterior acromioplasty. [Result]The average follow-up period were 12 months (6～24months). All patients' fracture in surgery group had been union and all shoulder had good functions. No incidence of avascular necrosis and nonunion was found. [Conclusion]Rigid fixation of displaced comminuted fractures of proximal humerus with anterior acromioplasty is a simple and effective technique to prevent subacromial impingement syndrome after surgery. Precise osteotomy and early postoperative exercises are the key to success.
