Background Proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) are often injuries that occur in the field of orthopedics and can either be treated conservatively or operatively. The PHILOS (Proximal Humerus Interlocking System) and the proximal humerus nail (PHN) are the commonly used operative techniques. Objectives The objective of this study is to analyse the functional outcome of the PHILOS (Proximal Humerus Internal Locking System) and the PHN (Proximal Humerus Nail) in proximal humerus fractures.

Fracture union and distraction osteogenesis can be done simultaneously with these external fixators, allowing early weight bearing. Several previous studies have shown almost equal results of rail and ring fixators for the compound tibial shaft fractures.
