Summary
This report suggests that complication rates may be lower in proximal humeral fractures treated with locking nail rather than locking plate groups. Fracture union was similar in both groups, and functional scores, measured by the Constant-Murley shoulder score, were not statistically different between groups. Additional studies with stronger methods and adequate power should be performed to substantiate these findings and provide more definitive evidence regarding differences between locking nails and locking plates in treating proximal humeral fractures.
