Anatomically reduced fixation should always be considered when treating B and C proximal epiphyseal humeral fractures

ConclusionAnatomically reduced fractures showed better outcomes compared with RSA in type B/C fractures. Surgeons should always try to perform a reduction of the fracture in order to understand if a plate fixation could be feasible. If it is impossible to perform an anatomical reduction, we suggest to consider RSA. This is a retrospective observational study.
