Abstract

Background

The optimal surgical treatment for displaced proximal humeral fractures is still controversial. A new implant for the treatment of three-part fractures has been recently designed. It supplements the existing Expert Humeral Nail with a locking plate. We developed a novel humeral cadaveric model and the existing implant and the prototype were biomechanically compared to determine their ability in maintaining interfragmentary stability.
