A PROSPECTIVE STUDY OF FUNCTIONAL OUTCOME OF PROXIMALHUMERUSFRACTURES TREATED WITH LOCKING COMPRESSION PLATES (PHILOS PLATES)

Abstract

Fractures of Proximal Humerus may be extremely demanding. There are many pitfalls for the unwary patient and surgeon to avoid during the course of treatment. Emphasis is placed on complete and accurate diagnosis and formulation of safe and simple techniques for restoration of anatomical stability, fracture union, cuff integrity, range of motion and adequate muscle strength.This study focuses on to analyze the functional outcome of fifty patients with proximal humerus fractures treated using locking compression plates (PHILOS PLATES) and to assess the complications of proximal humerus fractures treated using locking compression plates (PHILOS PLATES).
