Hybrid blade and locking plate fixation for proximal humerus fractures: a comparative biomechanical analysis

Hybrid blade and locking plate fixation for proximal humerus fractures: a comparative biomechanical analysis

Abstract Background Open reduction and internal fixation of proximal humerus fractures can be difficult to achieve adequate, complication free results due to osteopenia of the proximal humerus and unstable fracture patterns. This study aimed to compare the biomechanical properties of a novel hybrid...
