Postoperative AP view of a 3-part fracture treated with a locking plate. Note the screw traversing the inferomedial humeral head, which is important for providing a medial support in the calcar region (dotted circle). With significant medial bone loss, graft material, fibular struts, or cement can be used to augment the construct. Tuberosities can be captured with screws or sutured to the plate. AP denotes anteroposterior.
