Abstract

The surgical treatment of proximal humerus fractures remains controversial primarily due to the high complication rate associated with the available fixation methods. In an attempt to reduce the incidence of serious complications and subsequent poor clinical outcomes, proximal humerus locking plates have become popular but even these implants cannot overcome the risk of complications, especially those associated with loss of fracture reduction and screw cut-out/migration through the humeral head. In an attempt to address these issues, we have reviewed the literature, investigating the most likely causes for these predominantly mechanical complications and propose technical solutions.
