Blocking screw augmentation in intramedullary nailing for displaced surgical neck fractures of the proximal humerus

A displaced surgical neck fracture can be a good indication for antegrade intramedullary nailing. However, nail insertion may result in malreduction and translational displacement of the humeral head fragment because of muscle traction and size discrepancies between the diameters of the medullary ca...
