 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 14 Application of minimally invasive locking plate fixation of proximal humeral fractures in 31 cases the initial follow-up analysis Of: Zhang Yan, Yang Tieyi, Liu Shuyi, Zhengshi Wei, Song Wei, Wu Liang [Abstract] [Objective] subacromial anterolateral approach through the use of isolated deltoid Philos plate minimally invasive treatment of proximal humeral fractures preliminary results. [Method] April 2005 -2009 in March, by Philos Minimally invasive plate fixation of proximal humeral fractures in 31 cases, retrospective analysis of clinical results. male 17, female 14 cases, 19 cases were falls, 12 cases of road accident, aged 42 to 89 years. According to Neer classification, 5 cases of fracture of the second part, three-part fractures in 11 cases, four-part fractures in 15 cases. [Result] X ray showed good position of all screws, fractures satisfaction. were followed up 8 to 36 months, mean follow up 18.8 months and found no humeral head necrosis and axillary nerve injury cases, fractures were received healing, of which 2 patients recovered after treatment of superficial infections, according to Neer score, good rate of 87.1%. [Conclusion] subacromial ago separation of the lateral deltoid approach used by the Philos plate with individual strong, less damage to blood supply, fixed and reliable, the treatment of proximal humerus fractures, a new method. [Keywords:] minimally invasive locking plate, proximal humerus fractures Abstract: [Objective] To investigate the effect of minimally invasive treating proximal humeral fracture with PHILOS plate under acromial anterior lateral deltoid splitting approach. [Method] A retrospective analysis was done on 31 patients treated with minimally invasively with Philos plate under modified approach from April 2005 to March 2009.There were 17 males and 14 females, 12 of them were injured in a traffic accident and 19 in daily life, with their ages ranging from 42 to 89 years.According to Neer
