Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) provides good bone healing and functional outcomes for three- and four-part proximal humerus fractures. Factors such as age, gender, bone density, bone grafting, and rotator cuff sutures do not significantly affect outcomes. Therefore, osteoporosis should not be a contraindication for ORIF with locking plates in these cases. Complex fractures, however, often lead to poorer outcomes and higher complication rates post-surgery.
