Abstract
Introduction: Proximal fractures of the humerus account for about 4 to 5% of all fractures. They are the most common fractures in elderly population. Treatment of unstable, displaced, and comminuted fractures of the proximal humerus remains challenging.
 Objectives: The present study is undertaken to evaluate the functional outcome of proximal humerus fractures treated by locking compression plate in 3 patients. Materials and methods: Prospective study was done involving 3 adult patients with proximal humerus fractures admitted. Results: In our series, the majority of the patients were 40 to 50 years of age. After reduction and application of PHILOS plating, patient sympatomatically improved after series follow up with physio and mobilization was done Conclusion: In conclusion, securing density plate is anadvantageous implant in proximal humerus fractures due to angular stability, which allows their early mobilization.
