Abstract

Introduction: Proximal Humerus fractures constitute nearly 5% of all fractures. These days most fractures are treated by Open Reduction and Internal fixation (ORIF) with locking plates. However, ORIF with Locking Plates is associated with complications such as periosteal stripping, excessive soft tissue dissection, and avascular necrosis of the Humeral head. K wire fixation by Modified Palm tree technique is an alternative with minimal soft tissue dissection and fewer chances of avascular necrosis. We here describe our clinical experience with the modified Palm tree Technique.
