Application of a lateral intertubercular sulcus plate in the treatment of proximal humeral fractures: a finite element analysis

Abstract Background Inversion deformities caused by insufficient medial support are especially common when the PHILOS locking plate is used to treat proximal humeral fractures. Using finite element analysis, we aimed to compare the biomechanical properties of a PHILOS locking plate (PLP) and a PLP c...
