[Surgical treatment of dislocated 3 and 4-segment fractures of the proximal humerus].
Twenty-eight three- and four-segment fractures of the proximal humerus were treated by plate fixation (n = 22), screw or Kirschner wire stabilization (n = 5), and primary endoprothesis (n = 1). There were no early postoperative complications. Fourteen months after the operation, 80% of the patients examined showed good results; 4 cases had poor results. In comparison to other reports our results are positive and support plate fixation as the method of choice in these situations.
