Arthroscopic-Assisted Removal of Proximal Humerus Locking Plates With Capsular Release Significantly Improves Range of Motion and Function

Abstract: Purpose To investigate the clinical outcomes following the arthroscopic removal of proximal humerus locking plates for symptomatic hardware after open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of proximal humerus fractures. Methods Patients who underwent arthroscopic removal of hardware (ROH) with capsular release due to pain and/or immobility after receiving locking plates to treat proximal humerus fractures from 2009 to 2016 were identified. Operative and clinic records … Show more

“…Osteosynthesis implant removal can be done through an open approach, assisted by an arthroscope or completely arthroscopically. There are several articles demonstrating the feasibility of the removal of a proximal humeral plate arthroscopically ( 2 , 31 , 36 , 37 , 38 ), showing good results without increased complications ( 26 , 34 , 39 , 40 , 41 ). Removal of the plate or nail via an open surgical approach has also shown satisfactory results ( 12 , 28 , 30 ).…”
