Abstract:
Introduction: Proximal humerus fractures are commonly encountered fractures in general orthopaedic practices around 6% of fractures of humerus fractures.
Material and Method: The present study had 40 cases of proximal humerus fracture treated by PHILLOS plate. This prospective study was conducted in the department of orthopedics at a tertiary care centre, Krishna hospital and research centre karad from May 2017 to November 2019.
Observation: The most common complications included varus malunion the occurrence of which was 12.5%, AVN 5%, screw perforation of the humeral head into the joint 10% and infection 2.5%.
Results: The study shows 20% excellent, 60% good, 15% satisfactory and 5% poor results on Constant Murley Score.
Conclusion: PHILOS plate holds the key to stabilization of proximal humerus fracture.
