Fig. 5

In a 85 year-old female patients after slip down injury, X-ray showed long spiral (Complex spiral type, AO classification: C1) humerus shaft fracture with proximal fracture extension to the greater tuberosity (a). In the midportion of the long philos plate, additional locking or compression screws were inserted through several small incisions for further rigid fixation (b). Long humeral philos plate could fix this complex humeral shaft fracture adequately (c, d)
