摘要
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of the F3 Biomet plate in the treatment of 2-part displaced humeral greater tuberosity fractures. We compared the clinical outcomes of patients with displaced greater tuberosity fractures who underwent surgical treatment using an F3 plate with those of patients who were treated nonsurgically. Eleven patients with 2-part displaced humeral greater tuberosity fractures were surgically treated with use of an F3 Biomet plate, whereas 12 patients with equal injuries were treated nonsurgically. Each patient underwent follow-up for at least 1 year. We retrospectively collected data and analyzed the clinical outcomes. The Constant score and DASH score were used to assess the shoulder function, and X-rays were taken to evaluate the fracture healing. X-rays of the patients in both groups showed that the fractures achieved union after the 1-year follow-up. Patients treated surgically with an F3 plate and open reduction internal fixation had better Constant score and DASH score results for shoulder function than those treated nonsurgically. In the present study, surgical treatment of displaced humeral greater tuberosity fractures with the use of an F3 plate led to a 100% union rate and good clinical outcomes. The F3 Biomet plate can be considered an effective implant for the treatment of displaced humeral greater tuberosity fractures. The level of evidence is therapeutic III.
