Intramedullary cortical bone strut improves the cyclic stability of osteoporotic proximal humeral fractures
BACKGROUND: Proximal humeral fractures treated with locking plate can fail due to varus collapse, especially in osteoporotic bone with medial cortex comminution. The use of an intramedullary strut together with locking plate fixation may strengthen fixation and provide additional medial support to p...
