Tension wiring to increase stability of conventional plating for proximal humeral fractures: An alternative to a locking plate
Fixation of comminuted or osteoporotic fractures in the proximal humerus is a challenge for orthopedic surgeons. In the past two decades, locking plates have been used for proximal humeral fracture fixation. However, complications such as loss of reduction have been reported, and the implants are no...
