Osteosynthesis technique selection in surgical treatment of proximal humeral fractures

The review of the foreign literature and that of CIS countries, devoted to treatment of proximal humeral fractures is presented in the work. Based on the literature review and their clinical experience the authors have come to the conclusion, that there is no universal factor for osteosynthesis of proximal humeral fractures of different character. Proceeding from this, the authors propose a wire-rod device for osteosynthesis of the fractures of humerus anatomic neck and head, as well as a device for treatment of surgical neck fractures.
