ORIF Surgery for Proximal Humerus Fracture
ORIF Surgery for Proximal Humerus Fracture
This surgical procedure repairs a break in the proximal end of the humerus. ORIF stands for Open Reduction Internal Fixation. During this procedure, an incision will be made and a metal plate will be attached to the humerus to hold the bone in place while it heals.
