How Many Proximal Screws Are Needed for a Stable Proximal Humerus Fracture Fixation?

Purpose: This biomechanical study investigates the optimal number of proximal screws for stable fixation of a 2-part proximal humerus fracture model with a locking plate.
Methods: Twenty-four proximal humerus fracture models were included in the study. An unstable 2-part fracture was created and fixed by a locking plate.
Background: Significant discrepancy exists between anatomical plate designs and the anatomy of the native distal radius, which may be attributable to considerable morphometric variations in the volar aspect of the distal radius. We aimed to evaluate the degree of variability in the morphometry of the distal radius and identify factors associated with this variability.
Methods: We measured the volar surface angle (VSA) of the intermediate and lateral columns and the volar surface width (VSW) in the distal radius from three-dimensional computed tomography scans acquired from 81 cadaveric forearms.
