Author(s): TARSEM LAL MOTTEN*, TOWSEEF AHMED BHAT and REYAZ AHMED DAR

Background: Proximal humerus fractures are common in elderly people. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the results of Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosyhthesis (MIPO) plating with Long PHIL

Methods: A prospective observation study conducted between 1st January 2017 to 30th December 2019. Total 10 elderly patients between 62 to 81 years of age with metadiaphyseal proximal humerus fractures were included. Radiological assessment was done at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and at 1 year follow up. Functional evaluation was done with DASH score and Constant- Murley score at 1 year follow up.

Results: 100% union rate was observed. No case of non-union, malunion, infection, nerve injury and implant breakage was reported. 1 case had shoulder impingement at final follow up. The average DASH score was 23.7 and average Constant-Murley score was 82.6 at 1 year follow up.

Conclusion: MIPO is a safe and effective method for complex metadiaphyseal proximal humerus fractures in the elderly.
