Abstract:Purpose
Proximal humeral fractures are usually treated through the deltopectoral approach and direct lateral deltoid-split approach. The direct lateral deltoid-split technique has a minor incisional injury but restricted exposure, whereas the deltopectoral approach has a somewhat significant incisional injury but greater exposure is possible. To combine the advantages of a less invasive incision with enough exposure, this study's objectives was to propose a modified anterior subacromial (MAS) approach for tr… Show more
