【 摘 要 】

Background Iatrogenic injury to the radial nerve is a risk in surgical treatment for extraarticular fractures of the middle and distal third of the humerus. We aimed to investigate the safety, feasibility and advantages of minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO) via an anteromedial approach in the treatment of middle and middle-distal humeral fractures and to evaluate proximity to neurovascular structures.
