Excerpt
Proximal humeral fractures are becoming increasingly common, and treatment of displaced proximal humeral fractures remains a challenge. Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO), which provides early functional recovery, is a promising treatment option for proximal humeral fractures [
1]. We report a patient with posterior fracture–dislocation of the shoulder who was successfully treated with arthroscopic reduction and plate fixation via a minimally invasive approach. …
