Proximal humerus fractures (pHF) are common. In this retrospective study intra-operative and postoperative data and complications of patients stabilized with conventional semirigid techniques (pins, n=30; helix wire, n=19) or a novel semirigid technique, the intramedullary claw (IMC, n=82) were compared. The type and frequency of postoperative complications differed between the groups (p<0.001). The IMC is a novel semirigid technique to stabilize pHF and seems to result in fewer complications than pins or helix wire. The frequency and relevance of a loss of repositioning in patients after IMC implantation need to be elucidated in long-term studies.
