Success Story: Resilience at 75


A 75-year-old active female sustained a complex proximal humerus fracture following a fall. Given her osteoporotic bone and fracture comminution, she was managed surgically with a proximal humerus locking plate fixation augmented with a fibular strut graft.

Surgery was uneventful, and early mobilization with physiotherapy was initiated. Over the next six months, the patient showed remarkable recovery with radiological union, full range of motion, and pain-free function.


Her determination, timely surgical intervention, and structured rehab led to an excellent outcome despite her age and bone quality — a true example of strength meeting skilled care.
