Overview

Descriptive study demonstrates excellent functional outcomes in patients with proximal humerus fractures treated using a locking plate, indicating effective surgical management.

Key Points

  • Excellent functional outcomes were achieved in 47.65% of patients, highlighting the effectiveness of surgery.
  • The study involved 149 patients aged 18 to 60, with a mean age of 37.15 years indicating a young adult demographic.
  • Surgical management using the PHILOS plate showed a significant recovery rate, emphasizing its role in treatment.
  • Patients received guided rehabilitation post-surgery, which may have contributed to positive outcomes.
