A biomechanical comparison of cemented plating versus conventional plating in minimal invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) for proximal humerus fractures in osteoporotic cadaveric bones<\/h4>

Duration : 4 months. Funding\u00a0: CHF 14\u2019945<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Osteoporotic fractures of the proximal humerus are common traumatic injuries in older patients.<\/h5>

One way to stabilize the fracture is to use a proximal humerus internal locking system (PHILOS) plate. This plate can be implanted using either a traditional open approach or a minimally invasive (MIPO) approach. Due to the osteoporotic nature of the bone, screw fixation is essential to prevent secondary displacement.<\/p>

With the MIPO PHILOS plate, only the four proximal screws can be used to fix the head fragment. This is enhanced through better anchoring with cement augmentation.<\/p>

This biomechanical study aims to compare the extended four-screw approach with stable open fixation. Eight paired cadaveric humeral bones with simulated proximal humerus fractures will be examined. Cement-augmented screw fixation of the proximal screw rows (MIPO-PHILOS) will be compared with the PHILOS seven-screw plating configuration without cement augmentation, under multidirectional loading until failure.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

If both techniques prove equally stable, this will allow more proximal humerus fractures to be treated using minimally invasive techniques.<\/h5>
