Abstract Purpose of Review Fracture fixation aims to provide stability and promote healing,
but remains challenging in unstable and osteoporotic fractures with increased risk of …

Background Proximal humerus locked plates (PHLPs) are widely used for fracture surgery.
Yet, non-union, malunion, infection, avascular necrosis, screw cut-out (ie, perforation) …

Proximal humeral fractures are common and most challenging, due to the complexity of the
glenohumeral joint, especially in the geriatric population with impacted fractures, that the …

The high rate of fixation failure in osteoporotic proximal humerus fractures indicate the need
for improved solutions. Computer simulations may help to overcome the limitations of the …

Background The implant-related failure risks of proximal humerus plates remain high, and
therefore, improved solutions are needed. Systematic and efficient computational analyses …

Introduction: Importance of inferomedial supporting screws in preventing varus collapse has
been investigated for the proximal humerus fracture. However, few studies reported the …

Comminuted proximal humerus fractures are often repaired by metal plates, but potentially
still experience bone refracture, bone “stress shielding,” screw perforation, delayed healing …

Comminuted humeral fractures are usually treated with locking plates or intramedullary nails
with satisfactory clinical results. It is important to note that the success of this type of …

Currently, there is no established finite element (FE) method to apply physiologically realistic
loads and constraints to the humerus. This FE study showed that 2 'simple'methods involving …

Introduction 근위 상완골 골절에서 다양한 수술법들이 소개되고 있다. 가장 대중적으로
사용되고 좋은 임상적 결과를 보이고 있는 것은 금속판을 이용한 내고정술이다. 하지만 …
