520 |a Background: Locking plates are one of the most frequently used implants in surgical treatment of displaced proximal humeral fractures. In spite of this established implant and a standardized approach, reduced shoulder function might remain a mid-to long-term issue, furthermore scars may influence patient satisfaction as a cosmetic issue. Indications for a second surgery to remove implant and/or scar revision are common questions in this context.The aim of the present study was to assess the benefit of a second surgery, including implant removal and scar revision surgery, on patients' satisfaction under functional and cosmetic aspects 
520 |a Methods: Patients following displaced proximal humeral fractures treated by open reduction and internal fixation with a locking plate osteosynthesis via a delto-pectoral approach following implant removal were included retrospectively. A follow-up took place anamnestically before the incident or the primary surgery [A], before second surgery [B], and after second surgery (scar revision/implant removal) [C]. Functional outcome (Constant Score (CS)) of both shoulders was obtained using a patient-reported outcome measure to evaluate the contralateral side as well as percentage CS (%CS). Furthermore, the cosmetic outcome was evaluated for color, contour, and size 
520 |a Results: The clinical data of n = 81 patients with displaced proximal humeral fractures and the consecutive open reduction and internal fixation with a locking plate (51 women = 63.0% and 30 men = 37.0%; mean age: 53.7 ± 16.6 years) via a standardized deltopectoral approach could be included. The mean CS) before sustaining the humeral fracture or primary surgery [A] was anamnestically 85.8 ± 8.5 points and %CS 99.4 ± 8.4%. After open reduction and internal with a locking plate osteosynthesis [B], the mean CS was 72.2 ± 9.1 points and %CS 84.5 ± 8.7%. Following the scheduled implant removal and scar revision [C], the CS was 80 ± 13.1 points and %CS 92.3 ± 14.1%. After primary surgery, 26 patients (32.1%) complained about the scar because of color, contour, or size before the second surgery, and 23 patients (28.4%) afterwards 
520 |a Conclusion: Implant removal after locking plate osteosynthesis in proximal humeral fractures via a delto-pectoral approach leads to an improved outcome both functionally and cosmetically. CS as well as scar situation and patients' overall satisfaction could be improved with a second surgery. Nevertheless, the need for a second surgery depends on the patients' functional and cosmetic demands
