Minimally Invasive Percutaneous Plate Osteosynthesis with Proximal Humerus Locking Plate for Pediatric Comminuted Subtrochanteric Femur Fracture: A Case Report.

Introduction: Pediatric subtrochanteric femoral fractures are uncommon, constituting only 4-10% of pediatric femoral fractures. These fractures present a significant challenge due to the strong muscular forces often resulting in malalignment, complicating treatment and reduction. This case is particularly noteworthy as it involves a comminuted subtrochanteric fracture, which is even rarer and demands advanced surgical intervention.

Correlation of radiological parameters with functional outcomes post fixation with proximal humerus locking plates.

Purpose: Proximal humerus fractures account for 4-5% of all fractures in adults and affect females more than males. With the advent of special locking plates, the treatment trend has shifted more towards a surgical approach. These methods have produced good results but very high complications rates have been reported in the literature.
