Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Objectives: Helical plates used for proximal humeral shaft fracture fixation avoid the radial nerve distally as compared to straight plates. Several clnical reports exist in the literature, however, there is no consensus regarding their optimal design as there are reports ranging from 45° to 90° [for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]
