Biomechanical evaluation of locking plate fixation of proximal humeral fractures augmented with calcium phosphate cement.

To evaluate the influence of calcium phosphate cement augmentation on failure of locking plate fixation of proximal humeral fracture fixation in a cadaveric fracture model. ⋯ Calcium phosphate cement-augmented locking plates enhanced fixation stability in proximal humeral fractures and reduced glenohumeral screw perforation in this 2-part cadaveric model. The ultimate advantage of this method remains to be determined in vivo.
