Abstract:
: Fractures of the upper end of the humerus can be treated in different ways. The aim of our work is to determine the epidemiological and clinical aspects of fractures of the upper end of the humerus in adults, and to assess the functional and radiological results of patients in our series treated with locked proximal humeral plates. This is a series of 12 cases from the Traumatology and Orthopedics Department A of the HASSAN II University Hospital, Fez. We recorded the epidemiological data of the patients and the circumstances of the trauma. Reduction was assessed on postoperative radiographs. In hindsight, functional results were assessed using the Constant score. Our series included 5 men and 7 women. The average age of our patients was 41 years; domestic accidents due to falls were noted in 75% of cases. 2-fragment fractures were found in 83.33% of cases. Fractures without callus were consolidated in 16.66% of cases. In the case of fractures of the upper end of the humerus, osteosynthesis appropriate to the patient and the fracture, and early post-operative rehabilitation, ensure acceptable functional results.
