Evaluation and Management of Proximal Humerus Fractures [PDF]
Advances in Orthopedics, 2012 Proximal humerus fractures are common injuries, especially among older osteoporotic women. Restoration of function requires a thorough understanding of the neurovascular, musculotendinous, and bony anatomy.

Proximal humerus locking plate fixation for proximal humerus fractures [PDF]
International Journal of Orthopaedics Sciences, 2016 Objective: To evaluate functional outcome and complications of open reduction and internal fixation with proximal humeral internal locking system (PHILOS) plate for proximal Humerus fractures. Methods: We reviewed 20 patients who underwent open reduction and internal fixation with PHILOS plate from June 2012 to June 2013.
