Abstract
INTRODUCTION: A peri-implant proximal humerus fracture is a rare complication after open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) and poses a surgical dilemma.
CASE REPORT: A 56-year-old male sustained a peri-implant proximal humerus fracture after undergoing ORIF. We present a stacked plating method for fixation of this injury. This construct allows for decreased operative time, less soft-tissue dissection, and the ability to leave previous intact hardware in place.
CONCLUSION: We describe the rare case of a peri-implant proximal humerus treated with stacked plating.
