Abstract
Objective: To explore the therapeutic effect of titanium locking plate combined with suture anchor (SA) repair in the treatment of proximal humeral fractures (PHF).
Methods: This retrospective study was conducted by analyzing the clinical data of 113 patients with PHF admitted to Wuhan Fourth Hospital from March 2021 to October 2023. Among them, 55 patients underwent open reduction and internal fixation (OR/IF) using titanium locking plate (OR/IF group), and 58 patients underwent surgery with titanium locking plate combined with SA (SA group). Perioperative condition, treatment success rate, shoulder joint function before and after the surgery, shoulder joint range of motion, and incidence of complications were compared between the groups.
Results: Surgery duration and the length of hospital stay of patients in the SA group were significantly shorter than those in the OR/IF group, and the intraoperative blood loss was significantly lower in the SA group than in the OR/IF group (P<0.05). In terms of treatment effect, the SA group was significantly higher than the OR/IF (P<0.05). After the surgery, muscle strength, pain levels, daily living activities, and shoulder joint range of motion scores of both groups improved, and the improvement was more significant in the SA group compared to the OR/IF group (P<0.05). After the surgery, the degrees of internal rotation, forward flexion, backward extension, and external rotation of the shoulder joints in both groups increased compared to pre- surgery levels, and were greater in the SA group compared to the OR/IF group (P<0.05). The incidence of complications in the SA group was lower than that in the OR/IF group (P<0.05).
Conclusions: In patients with PHF, the combination of titanium locking plate and SA has a more significant therapeutic effect than that of titanium locking plate alone, which is associated with improved shoulder joint function and range of motion, and reduced incidence of complications.
期刊介绍：
It is a peer reviewed medical journal published regularly since 1984. It was previously known as quarterly "SPECIALIST" till December 31st 1999. It publishes original research articles, review articles, current practices, short communications & case reports. It attracts manuscripts not only from within Pakistan but also from over fifty countries from abroad.
Copies of PJMS are sent to all the import medical libraries all over Pakistan and overseas particularly in South East Asia and Asia Pacific besides WHO EMRO Region countries. Eminent members of the medical profession at home and abroad regularly contribute their write-ups, manuscripts in our publications. We pursue an independent editorial policy, which allows an opportunity to the healthcare professionals to express their views without any fear or favour. That is why many opinion makers among the medical and pharmaceutical profession use this publication to communicate their viewpoint.
