Treatment of Metaphyseal Defects in Plated Proximal Humerus Fractures with a New Augmentation Technique—A Biomechanical Cadaveric Study

Treatment of Metaphyseal Defects in Plated Proximal Humerus Fractures with a New Augmentation Technique—A Biomechanical Cadaveric Study

<i>Background and Objectives</i>: Unstable proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) with metaphyseal defects—weakening the osteosynthesis construct—are challenging to treat. A new augmentation technique of plated complex PHFs with metaphyseal defects was recently introduced in the clinical prac...
