I agree that this reduction is not perfect. The gap may later result
with nonunion. Such or even better reduction can be reached without site
opening as you mentioned. Locking plates are positioned as less
invasive, why so long incision was - even longer than plate?
You would use locking plate in the discussed case because it is somewhat
better comparatively to locked nail? Or just because you get accustomed
to use plates, or proximal humeral nails are not available around, or
because of some other reason?
Pls compare wound size visible at x-rays of your example with ones after
typical closed nailing of the proximal humerus.
