Helical plating yields better outcomes compared to intramedullary nailing or long straight plating for complex proximal humeral metadiaphyseal fractures
Purpose: This study was designed to compare clinical outcomes of the helical plate, intramedullary nailing (IMN), and long straight lateral plate technique for the treatment of complex proximal humeral metadiaphyseal fractures, and to point out the possible best fixation strategy for this injury.
