Abstract
Various options exist for treating ipsilateral metadiaphyseal fractures of humerus
but have their own set of complications. Management of these fractures with long
angular stable plates gives us an advantage of treating these two level fractures
simultaneously thereby reducing complications and postoperative morbidity. Alongwith
using minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) principles helps in biological
healing of fracture by being minimally invasive and preserving blood supply to the soft
tissues. Focus of the present study was to assess the feasibility and clinical outcome of
management of metadiaphyseal fractures of the proximal humerus using long angular
stable plates in a MIPO fashion.
