Comparison of Locked Plating of Varus-Displaced Proximal Humeral Fractures with and Without Fibula Allograft Augmentation

The ideal method to surgically repair varus mal-aligned proximal humerus fractures is controversial. We sought to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes between patients treated with fibula allograft-augmented locking compression fixation and patients treated with locking compression fixation alone for 2- and 3-part proximal humeral fractures with varus displacement.
