ABSTRACT
Objective:
To observe the effectiveness of locking compression hook plate in treatment of humeral greater tuberosity fractures.Methods:
Between March 2014 and September 2017, 16 patients with isolated humeral greater tuberosity fractures were terated with open reduction and internal fixation with locking compression hook plates. There were 11 males and 5 females, with an average age of 38.4 years (range, 22-67 years). The cause of injury was falling injury in 13 cases and sport injury in 3 cases. All patients were closed fractures. Of all patients, 14 patients accompanied with shoulder joint dislocations. CT scan showed the average displacement of fragment was 12.6 mm (range, 8-21 mm) after reduction. All patients began passive functional exercise at 3 days after operation.Results:
Primary healing of the incisons achieved in all patients, without complications such as infection and nerve injury. All patients were followed up 12-20 months (mean, 15.3 months). At 3 months after operation, X-ray film showed that all fractures achieved bone union, all of which met the imaging anatomical reduction standard. According to the Neer scoring criteria, 11 cases were excellent and 5 cases were good at last follow-up. One patint presented slight pain of shoulder joint and mild activity limitation, which relieved after 1 year.Conclusion:
The method of open reduction and locking compression hook plate internal fixation for isolated humeral greater tuberosity fractures has advantages, such as less intraoperative hemorrhage, mild postoperative pain, firm fixation, and allowing patients to perform functional exercise earlier, which is conducive to shoulder functional recovery and obtain satisfactory effectiveness.
