Objective. The study aims to compare minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) and open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) in the treatment of proximal humeral fracture in elder patients. Method. PubMed, Medline, EMbase, Ovid, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wangfang, and VIP Database for Chinese Technical Periodicals were searched to identify all relevant studies from inception to October 2016. Data were analyzed with Cochrane Collaboration’s Review Manage 5.2. Results. A total of 630 patients from 8 publications were included in the systematic review and meta-analysis. The pooled results showed that MIPO was superior to ORIF in the treatment of proximal humeral fracture in elder patients. It was reflected in reducing blood loss, operation time, postoperative pain, or fracture healing time of the surgery and in improving recovery of muscle strength. Concerning complications, no significant difference was seen between MIPO and ORIF. Conclusion. The MIPO was more suitable than ORIF for treating proximal humeral fracture in elder patients.

Background Optimal treatment of displaced proximal humeral fractures is controversial. This retrospective study aims to identify complications and clinical outcomes using a locking plate with smooth pegs instead of screws (S3 plate). Method Eighty-two patients with displaced proximal humeral fracture classified with 2–4 fragments (Neer’s classification) treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with S3 plate were studied retrospectively. Clinical outcome according to constant score; Single Shoulder Value; Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand; and European Quality of life-5 dimensions and complication rate defined radiologically including peg penetration, avascular necrosis, and loss of reduction was assessed minimum 2.5 years after surgery. Results A total of 11 peg penetrations were identified (13.6%). Avascular necrosis was seen in 8.5% (n = 7). Mean constant score at follow-up was 64.4 with a relative constant score of 87% (standard deviation 18%) compared to the contralateral uninjured side. The mean Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand score was 12.7 and mean European Quality of life-5 dimensions score 0.83. The mean Single Shoulder Value was 78.3. No cases of deep infection were seen. Conclusions Fixation with S3 plate shows a proper osteosynthesis and the functional outcome is good. Symptomatic peg penetrations are rare and the incidence is lower compared to what has been reported with locked screws.
