Intraoperative photograph of medial fixation of proximal humerus fractures. a The medial incision was marked with a pen before the operation. b The conjoined tendon of the latissimus dorsi and teres major muscles was identified. c The conjoined tendon was marked with suture traction and cut. d A K-wire was inserted through the incision for temporary fixation, and then a locking plate of appropriate length was inserted along the medial aspect of the humerus. e A PHILOS plate was used through a minimally invasive anterolateral approach. f Immediate postoperative radiographs
