Abstract
Bad bone quality and greater age are related to bad outcomes in proximal humerus fractures (PHF). In these patients, using augmentation helps us reduce the failure rate. The objective of this study was to evaluate the early complications and mechanical failures in 3 and 4-part treated with femoral head allograft augmentation plating vs plating alone.
Methods: We included 30 patients above 65 years old, with 3-4-part PHF treated with Proximal Humeral Internal Locking System (Philos) (9 augmented patients and 21 non-augmented patients). We evaluated as complication risk factors: deltoid tuberosity index, age, fracture type, calcar extension, varus, head fragment size, the reduction quality and type of fracture, and time to surgery. Then we analyze the risk factors for complications, pain, and range of motion
in both groups.
Results: The average age was 78.1 years, 63% of and the patients had bad bone quality (DTI Less than 1.44). Of the risk factors, we demonstrate that greater age p = 0.03, absence of calcar reconstruction.05, and absence of augmentation p = 0.05 were 3 statistically significant risk factors for complications.
Conclusion: In this study, we can conclude that osteosynthesis with plates must be reserved for selected patients of these ages due to the high incidence of complications. We confirm
that with greater age, the greater the chance for failure. The use of allograft augmentation is a useful tool to use in these cases, but it
doesn’t replace the anatomical reduction of the medial calcar
