“…Hence, mechanical support of the medio-inferior region of the humeral head seems to be essential for maintaining fracture reduction in locking plating of proximal humerus fractures [6]. Lescheid et al also confirmed in his biomechanical study the concept of medial cortical support by fixing two-part proximal humeral fractures, preferably in anatomic alignment [7]. However, those studies only observed the radiological and biomechanical evidence of medial support.…”
