Locked plate osteosynthesis of humeral head–splitting fractures in young adults

Background Humeral head–splitting fractures occur in younger patients and can be associated with poor outcome. We decided to study the functional outcome and complications in simple and complex humeral head–splitting fractures. We hypothesized that simple head-splitting fractures will perform better...

Description
Summary:Background Humeral head–splitting fractures occur in younger patients and can be associated with poor outcome. We decided to study the functional outcome and complications in simple and complex humeral head–splitting fractures. We hypothesized that simple head-splitting fractures will perform better compared with complex head-splitting fractures. Patients and methods Records of 16 patients
