Surgical management of 2- or 3-part proximal humeral fractures: comparison of plate, nail and K -wires

ConclusionsIntramedullary nails showed better functional results and a lower complication rate than the locking plates. Both techniques showed superior results compared to those available with retrogradeK-wires. So the nail seems to be a more reliable and adequate method for treating 2- and 3-part proximal humeral fractures.
