Abstract
Introduction: Proximal humerus fractures are among the most common injuries in the human skeletal system. The aim of treatment should be pain free with restoration of daily activities. Different techniques have been described for displaced proximal humerusfractures are k wires, tension band wiring, intramedullary devices, anatomic plate osteosynthesis like PHILOS (proximal humerus interlocking system) and shoulder arthroplasty. The PHILOS plate is a part of latest generation of locking compression plates. They alleviate the risk of malreduction and allows anatomical reduction head of humerus and shaft with early postoperative mobilization. PHILOS plate provides rigid fixation and more angular stability.
