The Treatment of Proximal Humerus Fracture Using Internal Fixation with Fixed-angle Plates.

CONCLUSION: The internal fixation of proximal humerus fractures with either CFR-PEEK or titanium led to clinical improvement 6 months after surgery. No clinical or radiological difference in outcomes was seen between the two groups. Because of the study design, however, the equivalence of the two interventions was not con- clusively demonstrated; a non-inferiority study would have been needed for this purpose.
