Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis for Proximal Humerus Fractures: A Retrospective Study Describing Principles and Advantages of the Technique

<div>Surgical field of a right shoulder showing the two skin incisions performed for the MIPO technique. The proximal incision starts at the anterolateral corner of the acromion (arrow) and is approximately 5 cm long; the length of the distal incision varies according to the number of diaphyseal screws implanted. The white line shows the level and course of the axillary nerve.</div>
