A Prospective Clinical Study of Proximal Humerus Fractures Treated With a Locking Proximal Humerus Plate

Abstract

The LPHP seems to be a promising implant for the fixation of proximal humerus fractures. However, there are certain limitations that should be mentioned. The number of cases in our study was small, and no safe conclusions can be extracted regarding the rate of avascular necrosis. Additional studies with larger cohorts and longer follow-ups are necessary to better define the appropriate indications for and expected outcomes of this technology.
