Cow-hitch fixation in fracture hemiarthroplasty

Cow-hitch fixation in fracture hemiarthroplasty

Background: The treatment of complex proximal humerus fractures with hemiarthroplasty is associated with a high failure rate due to secondary displacement of the tuberosities. It was the aim of this in-vitro study to compare the mechanical stability of tuberosity reattachment obtained with the so-ca...
