How to treat proximal and middle one-third humeral shaft fractures: the role of helical plates

ConclusionsIn our opinion, the helical plate may be an effective surgical tool for management of proximal and middle one-third diaphyseal humeral fractures. The humeral helical plate allows stable fixation avoiding the deltoid tuberosity proximally and radial nerve distally, thus increasing the possibility of rapid functional recovery after surgery.
