Overview

Prospective study shows improved functional and radiological outcomes in patients with proximal humerus fractures, indicating effectiveness of the PHILOS plate.

Key Points

  • Functional outcome significantly improved over time, with patients showing increased NEER scores at 6 and 9 months compared to 3 months.
  • Radiological outcomes were notably better at 6 months and continued to improve by the 9th month, showing the effectiveness of the PHILOS plate.
  • Patients undergoing open reduction internal fixation demonstrated promising results, emphasizing the necessity for tailored treatment approaches.
  • The study included 88 patients over 18 years with proximal humerus fractures, following Neer’s criteria for operative displacement.
