Subtrochanteric Fracture in Adolescents Treated with Adult Proximal Humerus Locking Plate
Abstract
We report four cases of subtrochanteric fracture in school-aged pediatrics, treated with an adult proximal humerus locking plate. The clinical outcomes were excellent. The advantage of this plate is that many screws can be inserted at appropriate positions and angles without damaging the physis. This approach is considered useful for pediatric subtrochanteric fractures.
