الوصف: | INTRODUCTION:To evaluate outcomes following open reduction and internal fixation of displaced proximal humeral fractures with regards to the surgeon's experience. MATERIAL AND METHODS:Patients were included undergoing ORIF by use of locking plates for displaced two-part surgical neck type proximal humeral fractures. Reduction and functional outcomes were compared between procedures that were conducted by trauma surgeons [TS], senior (>2 years after board certified) trauma surgeons [STS] and trauma surgeons performing ≥50 shoulder surgeries per year [SS]. Quality of reduction was measured on postoperative x-rays. Functional outcomes were assessed by gender- and age-related Constant Score (nCS). Secondary outcome measures were complication and revision rates. RESULTS:Between 2002-2014 (12.5 years) n = 278 two-part surgical neck type humeral fractures (AO 11-A2, 11-A3) were included. Open reduction and internal fixation was performed with the following educational levels: [TS](n = 68, 25.7%), [STS](n = 110, 41.5%) and [SS](n = 77, 29.1%). Functional outcome (nCS) increased with each higher level of experience and was significantly superior in [SS] (93.3) vs. [TS] (79.6; p = 0.01) vs. [STS] (83.0; p = 0.05). [SS] (7.8%) had significantly less complications compared with [TS] (11.3%; p = 0.003) and [STS](11.7%; p = 0.01) moreover significantly less revision rates (3.9%) vs. [TS](8.2%) and [STS](7.4%) (p |
