Abstract
Biomechanical testing of modern fixation options for two-part proximal humerus fracture exhibited that the stiffest and highest load to failure construct was the IMN-FAB followed by the IMN, 3.5-FAP and then the 4.5-FAP constructs. However, prospective clinical trials with longer-term follow-up are required for definitive assessment of the ideal fixation construct for surgical management of two-part proximal humerus fractures.
