Long-term results after non-plate head-preserving fixation of proximal humeral fractures
International Orthopaedics, 08/27/09

Bahrs C et al. – The non–plate head–preserving fixation of proximal humeral fractures is an alternative treatment for displaced proximal humeral fractures.

For these cases alternative methods such as prosthetic replacement should be chosen.
