Application of Intramedullary Calcar Support Plate and Lateral Locking Plate in Elderly Patients with Neer 3 and 4-Part Fractures of Proximal Humerus Through a Deltoid Splitting Approach.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The reduction and fixation of Medial humeral calcar is difficult in the treatment of elderly proximal humerus Neer 3 and 4-part fractures with a single lateral locking plate. Our study investigated the efficacy of an intramedullary calcar supporting plate combined with a lateral locking plate for the treatment of 3- and 4-part fractures of the proximal humerus in the elderly through a deltoid splitting approach.

Methods

From June 2022 to December 2022, we treated six elderly patients with Neer 3 and 4-part fractures using proximal humeral intramedullary calcar support plate in combination with lateral locking plate through a deltoid splitting approach. Follow-up time was 6-12 months. Assessment indicators included fracture union, quality of reduction, and complica
