Objective: To evaluate and compare the proportions of complications and radiographic findings of osteosynthesis of 2- and 3-part proximal humerus fractures with two methods of treatment: third-generation antegrade nailing and locking plate.
Methods: 46 patients with a mean age of 58.9 ± 16.
Article Synopsis
- * Chronic cases have a worse outlook due to muscle shortening and tendon retraction, complicating surgical repair that may require grafts.
- * A study involving four patients showed that using an autologous graft from the semitendinosus tendon for reconstruction is a straightforward and effective surgical option for chronic distal biceps injuries.
