Comparison of surgical efficacy of locking plates and interlocking intramedullary nails in the treatment of proximal humerus fractures

Abstract: Background The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of locking plates versus interlocking intramedullary nails in the treatment of proximal humerus fractures to provide clinical data support and theoretical guidance. Methods Patients with proximal humerus fracture from the Third hospital of Shijiazhuang city and Third hospital of Hebei medical university and from January 2017 to June 2019 were selected, included and divided into the… Show more

“…On the contrary, proximal humerus locking intramedullary nails have become increasingly popular with orthopedic physicians because of their minimally invasive insertion and good stability. Currently, there are no studies comparing the efficacy and safety of locking plates and intramedullary nail fixations in the treatment of OTA/ AO type 11C1.1 and 11C3.1 proximal humerus fractures [2,[17][18][19].…”

“…There are benefits and limitations of ILN or LCP use (20)(21)(22). Although the LCP counteracted bending and torsion to a similar degree as the ILN-10, some intricacies of LCP placement require consideration and might make them less suitable implants for a particular situation.…”

“…While current literature provides conflicting information on which procedure requires the longest amount of time, there is less blood loss associated with IMN than ORIF. IMN requires a smaller incision than what is required for plating, with less associated blood loss [ 18 , 19 ]. These data add to the growing body of literature comparing the two surgical methods in an attempt to optimize outcomes for humeral diaphyseal fractures.…”
