Influence of age, gender, and radiographic features on the deltoid splitting approach for surgical osteosynthesis in displaced proximal humerus fractures: A comparison study
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders Dec 01, 2017
Chen ACY, et al. - For proximal humerus fractures, the efficacy of a proximal humeral locking plate using the anterolateral deltoid splitting approach was assessed in this study, along with a specific scrutiny of the impact of patient age, gender, and fracture pattern on surgical outcomes. According to findings, as an alternative for surgery of proximal humerus fractures in different age groups, anterolateral deltoid splitting using locking plate fixation was found to be feasible and afforded comparable outcomes when the neck-shaft angle was properly restored. With respect to potential complications, surgeons must be cautious, especially with screw penetration when using the locking plate through a less invasive approach.
