Clinical Trial: Is Anterior Reversed Proximal Humeral Locking Plate System (PHILOS) a Safe Alternative to Conventional Posterior Double Plating in Extra-Articular Distal Shaft Humeral Fractures

U.S., June 13 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07645768) titled 'Is Anterior Reversed Proximal Humeral Locking Plate System (PHILOS) a Safe Alternative to Conventional Posterior Double Plating in Extra-Articular Distal Shaft Humeral Fractures' on June 09.

Brief Summary: Extra-articular distal-third humeral shaft fractures are difficult to treat because stable fixation must be achieved while minimizing soft-tissue injury and the risk of nerve damage. Posterior double plating is a commonly used technique but requires extensive surgical exposure and routine handling of the radial and ulnar nerves. Anterior reversed proximal humeral locking plate system (PHILOS) fixation has emerged as a potential al...
