Evaluation of the functional and radiological results in the patients who came with proximal humerus fracture for which they underwent osteosynthesis plating with deltopectoral approach

Aim: Evaluation of the functional and radiological results in the patients who came with proximal humerus fracture for which they underwent osteosynthesis plating with deltopectoral approach. Materials and Methods: Our study included patients who underwent proximal humeral anatomic locking plate with deltopectoral approach due to proximal humeral fracture (PHF) between 2022-2023. Patient who attained skeletal maturity, with closed humeral fractures, isolated unilateral humerus fracture were included in our retrospective study. The functional outcome were compared with the contralateral normal side using the Constant-Marley score and radiological results with the full anteroposterior radiography and collodiaohyseal angles. Results: The Constant Murley scoring categorical data structure of the patients, the operated side was 6.1% (N=2) poor, 6.1% (N=2) moderate, 39.4% (N=12) good, 48.5% (N=16) excellent. Statistical difference was found between the operated side and the healthy side (p>0.05). While the mean Constant Murley score of the operated side was 85.82 ± 7.07, the mean Constant Murley score of the healthy side was 90.67±5.76. While the average of the collodiaphyseal angles of the operated side was 130.03±4.64; the mean of the angles of the intact side was 135.64±5.04. Conclusion: The Constant Murley scoring categorical data structure of the patients, the operated side was 6.1% (N=2) poor, 6.1% (N=2) moderate, 39.4% (N=12) good, 48.5% (N=16) excellent. Statistical It has been observed that both clinical and functional results of the patients were successful after plate osteosynthesis using the deltopectoral approach and proximal humerus anatomical locking plate in proximal humerus fractures.
