Analysis of Efficacy, Complications, and Inflammatory Reactions of Bridge Combined Internal Fixation System for Periarticular Fractures of the Shoulder

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present research is to analyze the impact of the bridge combined internal fixation system (BCFS) on efficacy, complications, and inflammatory reactions of periarticular fractures of the shoulder. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed on 100 patients with periarticular fractures of the shoulder admitted between January 2016 and January 2020. Patients were assigned to the observation group (OG) and control group (CG) according to different treatment schemes, with 50 cases in each group. Patients in OG were intervened by BCFS, while those in CG were routinely given plate fixation. The treatment outcome, complications, and inflammatory reaction of the two groups were compared. RESULTS: The results showed better treatment outcome, shoulder joint function recovery, and inflammatory reaction alleviation of OG compared with CG. Besides, statistically shorter fracture healing and hospitalization time as well as fewer complications were determined in OG. CONCLUSION: These results demonstrate that compared with the plate fixation system, BCFS can significantly improve the surgical efficacy and healing efficiency and alleviate the inflammatory response of patients, with a low complication rate, all of which contribute to faster recovery of periarticular fractures of the shoulder. Hence, BCFS is an ideal choice for periarticular fractures of the shoulder that deserves clinical promotion.
