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

<div>(a)-(b) Three-part valgus impacted fracture with severe displacement of the articular segment in a 48-year-old woman (AO/OTA type C2); the lesser tuberosity was in continuity with the shaft (arrow). (c)-(d) Postoperative radiograms in external (c) and internal (d) rotation showing anatomical reduction of the fracture. (e)-(f) The same radiographic views three months after surgery demonstrating union with no secondary displacement.</div>
