Functional results and unfavorable events after treatment of proximal humerus fractures using a new locking plate system

Abstract Background Proximal humerus fractures are often treated with a fixed-angle titanium plate osteosynthesis. Recently, plates made of alternative materials such as carbon fibre-reinforced polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) have been introduced. This study presents the postoperative results of pat...
