Effects of different surgical techniques on mid-distal humeral shaft vascularity: Open reduction and internal fixation versus minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis

Humeral shaft fractures are generally managed with the conventional posterior open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) or minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO). This study was aimed at comparing the outcomes of these surgical techniques in terms of the vascular integrity of the mid-distal humeral shaft.
