Is minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis superior to open plating for fixation of two-part fracture of the proximal humerus?

Purpose: Displaced two-part fractures of the proximal humerus are generally treated with open plate (OP) fixation. Recently, minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) has been increasingly favored for fracture healing and functional recovery. We aimed to compare OP and MIPO for two-part fractur...
