A Comparative Analysis Of Functional Recovery After Philos Plating Versus J-Nail For Proximal Humerus Fractures

Background: Proximal humerus fractures constitute approximately 5% of all fractures and present a management challenge, especially in displaced cases.While nonoperative approaches are suitable for stable, minimally displaced fractures, surgical intervention is often required for displaced fractures, with various treatment modalities available.Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the union rate, complications, operative risks, and compare clinical functional outcomes between open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) using PHILOS plating and percutaneous fixation with J-Nail in patients with 3 and 4-part proximal humerus fractures.
