Article Synopsis
- Treating complex proximal humerus fractures in older adults is challenging, with locking plates having many complications despite being the more common option over shoulder replacements.
- A study on 58 patients at the Ho Chi Minh City Hospital found that patients treated with locking compression plates had varying functional outcomes, with a mean Constant-Murley score of about 70.8 and a QDASH score indicating limited disability.
- Complication rates were 10.3%, and factors such as the type of fracture, age, and bone density impacted treatment success, highlighting the need for careful patient selection and management.
