Overview

Prospective study shows improved functional outcomes in patients with three-part and four-part fractures, suggesting effective surgical management.

Key Points

  • At one year, 33.3% of patients exhibited excellent functional outcomes after ORIF with PHILOS plate.
  • Statistical analysis demonstrated a predominance of road traffic accidents (66.7%) as the injury mechanism.
  • No major complications such as infection or nonunion occurred during the 12-month follow-up period.
  • Reliable management hinges on stable fixation and compliance with postoperative rehabilitation.
