RESUMO
Proximal humerus fractures are common problems plaguing in geriatric population. Approximately half of all proximal humeral fractures occur due to fall usually at ground level. (Low velocity trauma). In younger individuals fractures occurring because of higher-energy trauma such as a fall from a height, motor vehicle accidents, sports, or assaults. The proximal humerus fracture because of three loading modes: compressive loading of the glenoid onto the humeral head, bending forces at the surgical neck, and tension forces of the rotator cuff at the greater and lesser tuberosities. Most proximal humeral fractures are treated nonoperatively. However, surgical treatment is becoming more popular, with development of modern implant (PHILOS plate). Implant failure is common complication occur due to improper fixation, osteoporotic bone, early mobilization, non-union and varus malalignment. Various modality available for its management i.e., Hemiarthroplasty, reverse shoulder arthroplasty and ORIF + bone graft. IN this case report 60-year male patient with right side proximal humerus fracture treated with PHILOS plating. At 6 week follow up radiograph suggest implant failure. Patient was posted for revision surgery ORIF + platting and fibular strut graft was done.
