Abstract: Objectives: Varus failure is one of the most common failure modes following surgical treatment of proximal humeral fractures. Anchoring the most densely zone of the proximal humerus (subchondral zone) with the nail's end, straight antegrade nails (SAN) theoretically provide increased stability.[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]<br />Deutscher Kongress für Orthopädie und Unfallchirurgie (DKOU 2016)
