Fracture of proximal humerus is the second most common fracture of the upper extremity, following distal forearm fractures. Aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of proximal humerus internal locking system (PHILOS) plate fixation for proximal humerus fractures. Functional outcomes of 12 men and 18 women aged 22 to 78 (mean, 58) years who underwent PHILOS plate fixation for proximal humeral fractures were reviewed. Indications for surgery were 2 part (n=9), 3 part (n=14) or 4part (n=7) closed proximal humeral fractures with angulation of more than 45 degrees or displacement of more than 1 cm. Functional outcomes and shoulder range of movement were assessed based on the Constant scoring system. All patients will be followed up at monthly intervals for 6 months. During this period patient, will be motivated for physiotherapy and gradual normal use of the affected limb. Fracture union will be assessed clinically and radiologically. In our study of fracture proximal humerus union in most of the cases (24) occurring between 1014 weeks. Range of union time was 8 to 18 weeks. one case of avascular necrosis of head occur in our case. In out of 30 cases excellent result in 7 cases, Good in16 cases Satisfactory in 5 cases and Poor in 2 cases were obtained. The PHILOS plate fixation is effective treatment for proximal humeral fractures particularly in osteoporotic bones.
