Abstract: Background Proximal humeral fracture in patients more than 65 years old, represent the third most common fracture. Treatment of proximal humerus fractures, especially displaced fractures, remains controversial. Conservative treatment has been preferred for most of the undisplaced or minimally displaced fractures. Over the years, availability of improved fixation devices, popularised the treatment of these fractures by open reduction and internal fixation. Operative treatment of proximal humerus fractures poses a challenge because of complications like malunion, non-union and avascular necrosis.Objective To study the role of conservative treatment and operative treatment by locking compression plate in the management of these fractures. To compare the results ofconservative management Versus locking plate osteosynthesis. To EVALUATE the results of treatment in terms of clinical and radiological union as well as functional outcome. KEYWORDS proximal humerus fracture, old age, locking compression plate, conservative treatment
