Objective: To observe the effect of proximal humerus internal locking system (PHILOS) plate in the treatment of Neer 2 and 3 part fractures of proximal humerus through tuberosity approach.
Methods: From July 2015 to January 2018, 15 cases of proximal humerus Neer 2 and 3 fractures were treated with PHILOS plate through intertubercular sulcus approach. There were 7 males and 8 females. The age ranged from 23 to 67 years old, with an average of 46 years old. There were 5 cases on the left side and 10 cases on the right side (including 7 cases of Neer 2 partial fracture and 8 cases of Neer 3 partial fracture). X-ray films and CT were taken before and after operation to assess fracture location and fracture healing. Clinical evaluation included Constant-Murley shoulder function score and operative complications. All 15 patients were treated with the PHILOS. Constant-Murley score was used to evaluate shoulder function after operation.
Results: All the 15 cases were followed up, and the duration ranged from 14 to 36 months. All the fractures healed and the healing time ranged from 14 to 26 weeks, averaged 19.1 weeks. There were no complications such as humeral head necrosis, axillary nerve injury and fracture nonunion after operation. At the 3rd month after operation, the shoulder function score of Constant-Murley ranged from 72 to 94 points, with an average of 81 points; 2 cases got an excellent result and 13 good.
Conclusions: The PHILOS plate for the treatment of proximal humerus fractures has the advantages of simple operation, small injury and quick recovery of shoulder joint function.

Shape-matching-based fracture reduction aid concept exemplified on the proximal humerus-a pilot study.

AO Research Institute Davos, Davos, Switzerland.
Purpose: Optimizing fracture reduction quality is key to achieve successful osteosynthesis, especially for epimetaphyseal regions such as the proximal humerus (PH), but can be challenging, partly due to the lack of a clear endpoint. We aimed to develop the prototype for a novel intraoperative C-arm-based aid to facilitate true anatomical reduction of fractures of the PH.
Methods: The proposed method designates the reduced endpoint position of fragments by superimposing the outer boundary of the premorbid bone shape on intraoperative C-arm images, taking the mirrored intact contralateral PH from the preoperative CT scan as a surrogate.

Introduction: Post-traumatic arthritis of elbow is a crippling condition that frequently develops after a serious joint injury. The condition is characterized by pain, rigidity, and diminished functionality, considerably affecting the quality of life of those impacted. Despite advancements in surgical and conservative management, the optimal treatment strategy remains elusive.

Introduction: Giant cell tumour or osteoclastoma is benign, locally aggressive tumor with bone destruction and with malignant potential. It accounts for 5% of all primary bone tumor and occurs in skeletally mature individuals in the age group of 30 to 45 with peak incidence in the 3rd decade. GCT is more common in females.

The mortality rate following proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) in elderly patients is increased, but currently, there are no medium-term studies comparing mortality following treatment with Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (RTSA) to non-surgical treatment. This retrospective study compares two groups of elderly patients (aged 75 to 95 at the time of injury) who were diagnosed with PHFs. A total of 79 patients (mean age: 83.

Background: Rich data on diverse patients and their treatments and outcomes within Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems can be used to generate real world evidence. A health recommender system (HRS) framework can be applied to a decision support system application to generate data summaries for similar patients during the clinical encounter to assist physicians and patients in making evidence-based shared treatment decisions.
Objective: A human-centered design (HCD) process was used to develop a HRS for treatment decision support in orthopaedic medicine, the Informatics Consult for Individualized Treatment (I-C-IT).
