Summary

The investigators tried to evaluate the results of our patients who underwent plate osteosynthesis with vascularized pectoralis major graft for the treatment of 4-part proximal humerus fractures.

Detailed description

The risk of avascular necrosis, nonunion, or malunion is high in 4-part fractures which is the most serious form of proximal humerus fracture.Bone impaction grafts are an important treatment option when osteosynthesis with LCP plate is desired especially for osteoporotic patients. Fibular strut grafts (FSGs) and autologous iliac bone impaction grafts (AIBIGs), which are frequently used to provide mechanical support, may have the risk of nonunion in osteoporotic bone whose vascular support is weakened due to fracture. Bone pedicled pectoralis major grafts may prevent varus collapse, nonunion and avascular necrosis.

Interventions

TypeNameDescription
PROCEDUREPectoralis Major Pedicle Bone GraftIt is aimed to restore the integrity of the medial cortex with the bone pedicle from the insertion region of the pectoralis major muscle in middle-aged patients with Neer type 4 proximal humerus fractures. Researchers aim to reduce the risk of avascular necrosis with a vascular living bone tissue, as well as providing mechanical support with this method.
