Abstract
Background: Proximal humeral fractures are the second most common fractures of the upper extremity accounting for 4% to 5% of all fractures. These type of fractures are better treated surgically using Proximal Humerus Internal Locking System (PHILOS) plating to achieve pain free shoulder and good functional outcome.
Aim: The Aim of this study is to assess the functional outcome of proximal Humerus Fractures treated with Proximal Humerus Internal Locking System (PHILOS) plating In Elderly age Group Population.
Type of Study: This is a Prospective type of Study.
Materials and Method: 20 cases of Proximal Humerus Fractures were treated by using Proximal Humerus Internal Locking System (PHILOS) plating in Elderly age group and studied from September 2020 to April 2021 in Department of Orthopaedics, Sri Aurobindo Medical College and Post graduate Institute, Indore.
Results: Total 20 patients were evaluated post operatively for 6 months and functional outcome was evaluated using UCLA Shoulder Score which shows75% of patients had fair to good outcome.
Conclusion: Our data have shown that Proximal Humerus Fractures in Elderly Treated with PHILOS Plating Is a good treatment option and a reliable procedure which provides Satisfactory Results specially in elderly osteoporotic age group population.
