Percutaneous Pinning for Proximal Humerus Fractures: Insights From a Five-Year Retrospective Study

Percutaneous pinning provides reliable outcomes for selected proximal humerus fractures, yielding high rates of functional recovery and favorable radiological results. The use of suture anchors is particularly important for stabilizing the greater tuberosity and ensuring calcar support. With most patients experiencing satisfactory pain relief, functional use, and alignment, this minimally invasive approach demonstrates its efficacy and safety.

Abstract

Percutaneous pinning provides reliable outcomes for selected proximal humerus fractures, yielding high rates of functional recovery and favorable radiological results. The use of suture anchors is particularly important for stabilizing the greater tuberosity and ensuring calcar support. With most patients experiencing satisfactory pain relief, functional use, and alignment, this minimally invasive approach demonstrates its efficacy and safety.
