Background: Proximal humerus fractures are frequent in elderly cases, with treatment options ranging
from conservative management to surgical fixation.
Aim: This research aimed to compare and evaluate the functional and radiological results of three- and
four-part proximal humerus fractures treated with PHILOS plate fixation versus percutaneous K-wire
pinning in elderly patients.
Patients and Methods: Randomized comparative prospective research was performed on 40 cases aged
over 50 years with displaced three- or four-part proximal humerus fractures, classified into 2 groups.
Group I (number=twenty) underwent PHILOS plate fixation, and Group II (number=twenty) underwent
K-wire pinning. Data on surgical parameters, complications, and functional outcomes were collected
over a six-month follow-up period.
