The Augment of the Stability in Locking Compression Plate with Intramedullary Fibular Allograft for Proximal Humerus Fractures in Elderly People.

Conclusions: The present results showed that that patients treated by LCP with fibular allograft had a better functional outcome and a lower complication rate compared to patients treated by LCP alone. Suitable void filler in the proximal humerus for supporting the head fragment, medial cortical bone, and greater tuberosity might play a key role in reducing the incidence of the complications in elderly patients, especially with osteoporosis.
