Abstract：Objective To observe the effect of locking plate in the treatment of surgical neck fracture of humerus.Methods 76 patients with surgical neck fractures of the humerus from January, 2015 to February, 2017 were enrolled. The patients were dividedinto the control group and the observation group according to the random number table, with 38 cases in each group.The control groupwas treated with the proximal humerus anatomical plate, and the observation group was treated with the proximal humerus lockingplate. The treatment effect was compared between the two groups.Results The operation time of the observation group was (54.18±20.51) min, the intraoperative blood loss was (96.52±15.89) ml, the postoperative hospital stay was (8.14±3.15) d, and the frac-ture healing time was (96.28±23.87) d. The indexes were significantly lower than those of the control group (70.58±28.12) min, (120.51±19.58) ml, (10.56±3.86) d, and (115.36±34.00) d (P＜0.05). 6 months after operation, the mobility of the shoulderjoint in the observation group was significantly better than that in the control group (P＜0.05). The excellent rate of Neer's shoulderfunction score in the observation group was slightly higher than that in the control group, but the difference was not statistically signifi-cant (92.11％ vs 86.84％, P＞0.05). No complications, such as avascular necrosis, nonunion and malunion of the humeral head, were observed in the observation group.Conclusion Locking plate is effective in the treatment of surgical neck fracture of humerus, shoulder function recovery is good, and postoperative complications are few, safe and reliable.
