Novel Technique for Depressed Humeral Head Fractures: Arthroscopic Reduction and Subchondral Buttress Fixation Using...

Humeral head fractures, though relatively rare, pose significant challenges due to the risk of complications such as osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis. Particularly in younger patients, joint-preserving procedures are prioritized over arthroplasty, and their higher activity demands necessitate more precise and reliable reduction and fixation. We have developed a less invasive, more accurate, and more stable surgical technique utilizing arthroscopy and a polyaxial locking plate. Since this approach resulted in a favorable clinical outcome, we describe this technique comprehensively.
