A scoping review of biomechanical testing for proximal humerus fracture implants

Abstract: BackgroundFixation failure is a relatively common sequela of surgical management of proximal humerus fractures (PHF). The purpose of this study is to understand the current state of the literature with regard to the biomechanical testing of proximal humerus fracture implants.MethodsA scoping review of the proximal humerus fracture literature was performed, and studies testing the mechanical properties of a PHF treatment were included in this review. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the characteris… Show more

“…In another study, 25 cases of tibiofibular fracture were treated with the minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO) technique, which is considered safe and effective [ 8 ]. The most ideal fracture treatment should be as minimally invasive as possible and avoid the use of implants such as steel plates and intramedullary nails.…”

“…To a lesser extent, such studies have been performed in other substrates as well, including saw bones, animal bones, and wood. 10 To our knowledge, no prior studies have focused on only the screw aspects of proximal humeral fixation. Likewise, there exist many reports of the effects of screw design, insertion technique, and variation in natural and synthetic bone substrates on pullout strength, but none are specific to the proximal humerus nor included consideration of cross elements.…”
