Fig. 1From: Influence of age, gender, and radiographic features on the deltoid splitting approach for surgical osteosynthesis in displaced proximal humerus fractures: a comparison studyThe fracture pattern is assessed by using a C-arm image intensifier (top left). Reduction is achieved by elevating the humeral head fragment (top right). Provisional wire fixation is applied, followed by insertion of a locking plate and proximal screws through a deltoid splitting approach (bottom left). Distal screws are applied through another skin incision (bottom right)Back to article page
