Gardner MJ, Weil Y, Barker JU, Kelly BT, Helfet DL, Lorich DG.Keywords: Calcar screws, Inferiomedial screw, Proximal humerus fractures,Varus collapse, The placement of calcar screws in proximal humerus fracture fixation is associated with less secondary loss of reduction and varus collapse and yields better outcome Subsequently, UCLA score and functional outcome were also significantly better for patients in 2 nd group. All fractures in both groups healed without delay. In the 1st group (without an appropriately placed inferomedial oblique screw), loss of humeral height averaged 5.8 mm.ĭiscussion: The presence of medial support had a significant effect on the magnitude of subsequent reduction loss. In the 2nd group, the average loss of humeral head height was 1.2 mm. In 2 nd group, varus collapse and loss of reduction were minimal. Results: The results showed there is significant loss of reduction in follow up X rays compared to immediate post op X rays in 1 st group. The functional outcome was assessed using UCLA shoulder score. Radiological and functional outcome were assessed post operatively and at follow up in 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year. Total 47 patients, with an average age of 58, 27 patients without calcar screws were in 1 st group, 20 patients with calcar screws were in 2 nd group. All patients were operated by deltopectoral approach and underwent same post-operative care. Materials and Methods: All patients who underwent proximal humerus plating for 3 part and 4 part displaced fractures between January 2012 and October 2014 in HGM Hospital Muttuchira, were included.
