ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the results of treatment of proximal humeral fractures in elderly patients with a locking proximal humerus plate. Methods 35 aged patients with proximal humeral fracture were treated with a locking proximal humerus plate from January 2001 to January 2004. Early rehabilitation after operation was performed. Results 35 cases were followed up for 13.2 months on the average. The mean time for bony union was 8.3 (7 to 12) weeks. 1 patient developed an avascular necrosis of the humeral head. According to the Constant Score, the average for all fractures was 81.4 (39 to 95). The excellent and good rate was 85.7%. Conclusion The locking proximal humeral plate proves to be safe and can be recommended for the treatment of proximal humeral fracture in elderly osteoporotic patients.
