Analysis of early failure of the locking compression plate in osteoporotic proximal humerus fractures

摘要

Although there has been continuous evolution in the management of fracture fixation, treatment for osteoporotic proximal humerus fractures is still challenging to trauma surgeons. The purpose of this study was to report early failure of the locking compression plate (LCP) in the treatment of osteoporotic proximal humerus fracture and characterize the mode of failure.
