Popis: Abstract Background Although the proximal humeral fractures (PHFs) treated with locking plate have been well applied, there are few studies concerning on the serial HSA changes after locking plate placement. The purpose of this retrospective study was to explored the clinical significance of serial HSA changes after surgery. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 122 patients between January 2012 to December 2016 in our hospital. The serial change of the HSA and Neer’s score of 122 patients were recorded and analyzed. Then, we evaluated the HSA changes affected functional recovery in conjunction with medial support (MS). Moreover, multivariable linear regression analysis was performed to identify any potential confounding factors that may influence functional recovery. Results Of 146 patients, 122 (50 males and 72 females) patients were finally enrolled in our study. Our preliminary data suggested that the most decrease of HSA occurred in the period of 1 to 3 months (p
