Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Screw, Kirschner’s tension-band wire, intramedullary nail and clover plate are ineffective in the treatment of proximal humeral fractures and often lead to loosening, rotator cuff injury, blood supply destruction to affect humeral head blood supply and shoulder abduction.
OBJECTIVE: To observe the curative effect of locking compression plate combined with Osteoset bone graft substitute in the treatment of proximal humeral fracture.
METHODS: Twenty-two cases of proximal humeral fracture were treated with locking compression plate combined with Osteoset bone graft substitute and the curative effect was evaluated.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: All cases were followed up for 12-24 months. According to Neer evaluation system, 13 cases were excellent, 7 cases were good, 2 cases were fine, 0 case was poor, and the fineness rate was 91%. After treatment, X-ray showed that proximal humeral fracture and shoulder dislocation received a satisfactory reduction. It is indicated that the curative effect of locking compression plate combined with Osteoset bone graft substitute in the treatment of proximal humeral fracture is affirmative.
