PHILOS (Proximal Humerus Internal Locking System) Plating vs MultiLoc Nailing in Proximal Humerus Fracture: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Radiological and Functional Outcomes.

Proximal humeral fractures, predominantly affecting the elderly, pose significant treatment challenges due to the complex anatomy of the shoulder joint and variability in bone quality. MultiLoc nails (Synthes USA Products, West Chester, USA) are the latest construct, and PHILOS (Proximal Humerus Internal Locking System, (Synthes USA Products, West Chester, USA)) plates are the earlier construct used for the fixation of proximal humerus fractures. This systematic review aims to provide a comparison of MultiLoc nails and PHILOS plates, focusing on their effectiveness, safety, and patient outcomes.

Duverney's Fracture Fixed by Skiver Screw in a Skeletally Immature Patient: A Case Report.

Duverney's fracture, an eponym for isolated iliac wing fracture, is rather an uncommon fracture in the subset of pelvic ring fracture in the AO/OTA (Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen/Orthopaedic Trauma Association) classification. Here, we discuss a more unique case with Duverney's fracture since the patient is a 15-year-old school-going girl with unfused physis of the ilium. After other injuries were ruled out, she underwent open reduction and fixation with a screw by the Skiver method augmented with the plate.
