Between 1990 and 1994, 94 patients over 65 years with subcapital humerus fractures were treated by plate osteosynthesis. All patients were operated on within 48 h after trauma. Intensive physical exercising was begun in the early postoperative period. Three months after the operation all osteosynthesis materials were removed with differentiated treatment of the subacromial area. If deemed necessary on the basis of the intraoperative findings (i.e. symptoms of impingement) treatment included a Neer acromioplasty. Sixty-nine of the 94 patients were followed up, including clinical, radiological and ultrasonographic examinations. Twenty-two patients showed an excellent, 26 a good, 9 a satisfactory and 12 an unsatisfactory result, i.e. in more than 82% of patients functional result was excellent to satisfactory. Therefore, we recommended plate osteosynthesis of subcapital humerus fractures in the elderly, in combination with our standard postoperative regimen.
