PEER REVIEW
	True anteroposterior radiograph of the shoulder Orthopedics — September 2014 Early Outcomes of Proximal Humerus Fracture Fixation With Locking Plate and Intramedullary Fibular Strut Graft— by Denny Lie, MD; et al Proximal humerus fractures are commonly encountered in elderly patients. Surgical treatment demonstrates high complication rates, including varus construct collapse and screw cutout. In this study, the authors evaluate the clinical outcome of locking plate fixation with intramedullary fibular strut graft augmentation as a primary surgical treatment in the prevention of early collapse and screw cutout. Read more
