“…All four patients that smoked preoperatively quit for at least the first three months after surgery; and the patient with finger stiffness recovered complete hand function after four months of intensive hand therapy. [5,10,17,19]. The benefits of locked 90°blade plates are that they increase sagittal plane rotational stability, blades in metaphyseal bone are stronger than screws, they still allow multidirectional locking screws with ease of insertion of locking or non-locking screws into the shaft, and they do not remove much bone.…”

“…The use of locked plates has been found to be biomechanically superior to intramedullary nails [4] and blade plates [25] in stabilising fractures of the surgical neck of the humerus; but, despite recent advances of locked-plate technology, humeral head necrosis, osseous malalignment, nonunion, deep infection, hardware cutthrough, and loss of reduction after open reduction and internal fixation of proximal humerus fractures remain a problem [17,19,26]. In order to decrease these complications and increase the stability in complex metaphyseal nonunions of the proximal humerus associated with bone loss, a small proximal fragment, osteoporosis, and multiple previous operations, we designed a locked 90°blade plate implant, which combines the advantages of the blade plate with those of locking plates.…”

“…Inúmeras técnicas são descritas na literatura, incluindo a fixação externa, placas e parafusos (7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15) , hastes intramedulares (3,(16)(17) e hemiartroplastias (6,15,(18)(19) . Resultados desfavoráveis têm sido atribuídos à osteopenia, às grandes desperiostizações necessárias para a colocação das placas e também às migrações, quebras, penetração neurovascular dos pinos percutâneos e reoperação para remoção dos fios (7,10) .…”

“…Resultados desfavoráveis têm sido atribuídos à osteopenia, às grandes desperiostizações necessárias para a colocação das placas e também às migrações, quebras, penetração neurovascular dos pinos percutâneos e reoperação para remoção dos fios (7,10) . Atualmente, tem crescido o interesse por técnicas menos invasivas, de menor agressão às partes moles e à vascularização, com conseqüente prejuízo à consolidação óssea, dentre as quais se incluem a redução aberta e fixação por osteossutura, particularmente importante no osso osteopênico (14,(20)(21)(22)(23) .…”
