Clinical Study
Medial Calcar Support and Radiographic Outcomes of Plate Fixation for Proximal Humeral Fractures
Figure 3
(a) A 51-year-old male patient sustained right proximal humerus fracture AO/OTA 11-B2 with disrupted medial calcar extension and medial hinge sparing; (b) open reduction and internal fixation with PHILOS plating. Anatomical reduction and good strut screw position were achieved; (c) external rotation A-P view and axillary view in postoperative 14 months. Early stages of collapse with less spherical humeral head and impending screw perforation.
