A two-part surgical neck fracture with a comminuted lateral wall of the greater tuberosity fixed with a locking plate alone (A) and a locking plate with fibular strut graft augmentation (B). Full size image Figure 3 (A) A PHILOS humerus plate with 9 proximal screw holes in Sections A-E...
In addition, exposure of the medial aspects of the proximal humerus is limited, and anatomical reduction of fractures with more than two parts may be more difficult (20). Accordingly, open surgery is often preferred for more severe cases, while the minimally invasive approach is preferred for ...
10% in the distal radius, 6% in the proximal humerus, and 13% in the hands and feet [3]. GCT primarily affects the femoral neck and intertrochanteric region, with infrequent subtrochanteric involvement [4]. The International Society of Limb Salvage (ISOLS) classification divides the lesion site...
In the Ossure™ LOEP technique (AgNovos Healthcare USA, LLC, Rockville, MD), a calcium-based triphasic osteoconductive implant material (AGN1), which has been shown to increase bone mineral density (BMD) and proximal femoral strength, is introduced percutaneously in the femoral neck and inter...
Scapula alata (SA) is a known complication of breast surgery associated with palsy of the serratus anterior, but it is seldom mentioned. We evaluated the risk factors associated with SA and the relationship of SA with ipsilateral shoulder/arm morbidity i

Proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) make up 10% of all fractures occurring in patients older than 65 years [1,2]. The prevalence of PHF increases with age. This is especially true in women and represents the third most common osteoporotic fracture type [3,4]. With longer life expectancy in...
Step three, 3D scan and drill tunnel planning (Figure 3): The anatomical AC joint position was checked exactly using the multiplanar layers of the 3D data set. The CC drill tunnel was then precisely planned on the navigation monitor. Care was taken to ensure that the single tunnel would ru...
