There were 19 patients in the ASPF group and 27 patients in the ORIF group, with comparable demographic characteristics. The average age of patients was 49.4\u2009\u00b1\u200912.1\u2009years in the ASPF group and 46.9\u2009\u00b1\u200911.4\u2009years in the ORIF group. The shoulder function reflected by the Constant\u2013Murley (CS) scores, the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) scores, and the range of motion (ROM) in the both groups at the last follow\u2010up were analyzed in the study. Surgery time, postoperative pain, and postoperative complications were also reviewed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 46 eligible patients were included in this study. The mean follow\u2010up was similar for the ASPF (19.4\u2009\u00b1\u20093.7\u2009months) and the ORIF (18.2\u2009\u00b1\u20093.2\u2009months) groups (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.372). All patients had achieved primary incision healing in both groups at the last follow\u2010up. The surgery time was 96.8\u2009\u00b1\u200911.7\u2009min and 64.2\u2009\u00b1\u20098.3\u2009min in the ASPF group and the ORIF group, respectively (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.01). All the CS scores (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.278), ASES scores (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.426), and ROM were slightly better in the ASPF group than in the ORIF group, but they did not attain significant differences. In addition, there was no significant difference in the postoperative complication rate between the ASPF group (10.5%) and the ORIF group (18.5%) (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.522). In the ASPF group, there was only one patient with postoperative shoulder stiffness and one case of fracture malunion. In the ORIF group, there were two cases of postoperative shoulder stiffness, two cases of fracture malunoin, and one case of subacromial impingement. Other major postoperative complications, such as fracture nonunion, pullout of the suture anchor, and screw penetration, were not observed in either
