Exploring the difficulties to improve minimally invasive application with long PHILOS plate in multifocal metadiaphyseal fractures of the proximal humerus: analysis of intraoperative procedure and clinical outcomes.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The MIPO (Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis) technique for treating metadiaphyseal fractures of the proximal humerus has gained great attention during the past years. The purpose of this retrospective study was to underline all the important difficulties when the MIPO technique is applied, to propose practical solutions and to evaluate the overall clinical outcome of our patients treated with this technique. A total of 14 patients had been operated in two different surgical units, at San Carlo Borromeo Hospital (Milan, Italy - 11 patients) and in Policlinico Umberto I Hospital (Rome, Italy - 3 patients), between June 2013 and November 2016. The humeral fractures were divided according to the Maresca et al. classification system. A lateral deltoid-split or an anterolateral deltopectoral approach was performed in the proximal humerus. In distal approach, an anterior or a lateral window was performed for plate fixation. After a follow-up of 17,4 (range 3-31) months all patients showed fracture healing and there were no non-unions or infected cases. MIPO of the humerus is a tissue sparing technique and in expert hands can improve healing rates and can also reduce complications like nerve damages and infections. In conclusion, we would like to highlight the importance of the MIPO technique as a possible alternative option to the traditional ORIF technique.
