Intentional “Over-Screwing” of Humeral Head to Improve Stability of Comminuted Fractures
Journal Title: Ortopedia Traumatologia Rehabilitacja - Year 2018, Vol 20, Issue 6
Abstract
A high rate of humeral head “overscrewing” during stabilization of comminuted fractures of the proximal humerus, reaching 14-19% and, according to some reports, even more than 20% of all stabilizations, as reported by various surgeons around the world, suggests that this complication does not simply reflect the lack of surgical skills or inattention during the procedure.<br/><br/>
