Evaluation and Management of Proximal Humerus Fractures

Figure 4

The axillary neurovascular structure (AN) can be palpated as a cordlike structure within the anterior deltoid raphe located an average of 3.5 cm from the greater tuberosity (GT) prominence or 6 cm from the anterolateral (AL) border of the acromion, the latter of which is more reliable in the setting of proximal humerus fracture.
