Abstract:
Background: This study is conducted to evaluate the results in terms of functional outcome of proximal humeral fractures treated by anatomic locking compression (PHILOS- proximal humerus interlocking system) plate. Methods: This prospective study was a study on patients with fracture of proximal humerus. Patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were invited to participate in the study. Informed consent was obtained from all the patients willing to participate in the study. Results: The average constant and murley score after 6 weeks was 33.34 point, after 3 month it was 54.02 points and after 6 month it was 73.6 point . For the same time zones the mean score for type A was 37.47 , 58.35, 77.12, for type B was 34.64, 55.95, 75.69 and for type C was 33.44, 54.14, 73.71 at 1.5, 3 and 6 month respectively. Conclusions: Philos plate fixation for proximal humeral fractures provides good stable fixation with good functional outcome and is a feasible option. Keywords: Philos plating, Proximal humerus fractures, Shoulder fractures
