We carried out a retrospective study in the Traumatology A Department of the HASSAN II University Hospital in Fez, over a 5-year period from January 2017 to January 2021, involving 39 patients treated surgically for fractures of the humeral palette. The mean age of the patients was 34.64 years (14-65 years), with an estimated male predominance of 69%, and the etiologies were dominated by falls and MVAs. The fractures were classified according to the Muller and Allogower classification, with type C predominating (48%), 51% of patients had associated lesions, with the skin opening predominating (25%), 87% of patients were treated surgically, while 13% were managed orthopedically. Twenty-five patients had a satisfactory result (64% excellent and good), based on Mayo Clinc criteria, with complications dominated by stiffness. Comparison of our results with those reported in the literature confirms the value of surgical treatment, which enables stable fixation and early rehabilitation.
