摘要
To prevent distraction and varus deformity between the humeral head and shaft, tension band sutures placed between the head of the interlocking screw and the rotator cuff, and we recommend using nonabsorbable sutures. We describe our simple procedure to overcome these difficulties in tension band suturing after reducing a proximal humerus fracture to maintain the reduction.
