Minimally Invasive Osteosynthesis Techniques for Humerus Fractures

A thorough knowledge of humeral anatomy is critical to performing minimally invasive techniques. Fluoroscopy, when available, is invaluable in optimizing fracture repair with minimally invasive techniques. Minimally invasive approaches decrease morbidity and allow an earlier return to function. Minimally invasive fracture repair is performed using implant systems similar to open approaches.
