Comparison of effective factors in loss of reduction after locking plate-screw treatment in humerus proximal fractures.

Background: In proximal humerus fractures, loss of reduction can occur following surgical fixation. The factors that affect loss of reduction in cases treated with locking plates as well as their relationship with the degree of loss of reduction were investigated in this study.

Methods: The study included 48 patients who underwent surgical treatment with a locking plate for a displaced proximal humerus fracture and experienced loss of reduction during follow-up.
