Locked plating of proximal humeral fractures with trauma cement augmentation of humeral head screws could be translated from the ex-vivo lab setting into the clinical situation without additional complications. Locked plating of displaced PHF with additional cement augmentation showed similar clinical outcomes but reduced the rate of early implant-related complications compared to locked plating without additional CA.
