Fixation treatments for two-part proximal humeral surgical neck fractures .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Locking intramedullary nails and locking plates in the treatment of two-part proximal humeral surgical neck fractures: A prospective randomized trial with a minimum of three years of follow-up
J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2011 Jan 19;93(2):159-68.51 patients with two-part proximal humeral fractures were randomized to either locking intramedullary nail or locking plate fixation group. This study aimed to evaluate and compare longitudinal outcomes of these treatment methods. The results indicate that at one-year follow-up, the locking nail fixation group had fewer complications (p=0.024), whereas the locking plate group had superior ASES and VAS scores (p=0.021, p=0.042 respectively). There were no differences seen at the three-year follow-up between groups.
