Close reduction and percutaneous fixation of unstable fracture proximal humerus: midterm clinical outcome

Abstract
Background Proximal humeral fractures are common injuries and sharply increase in elderly patients, especially those over the age of 60 years. Conservative treatment usually leads to nonsatisfactory results. That is why, open reduction and internal fixations is essential, but it increases the risk of avascular necrosis, infection, and joint stiffness. Minimally invasive techniques, with less disru...
