Abstract
The high rates of complications and reoperations observed with the early designs of
first-generation (unlocked) and second-generation (bent design) humeral intramedullary
nail (IMNs) have discouraged their use by most surgeons. The purpose of this study
was to report the results of a third-generation (straight, locking, low-profile, tuberosity-based
fixation) IMN, inserted through a percutaneous approach, for the treatment of displaced
2-part surgical neck fractures.
