Humerus fracture
This woman had fallen the year before and broke her elbow. She had recovered well but fell again with a new fracture over the plate. After a trial of nonop which failed, she had the humerus fixed top to bottom and one of the distal plates removed. I used cables up top around her shoulder replacement. The radial nerve was identified and I slid the plate under it. You can see the nerve in the photo.
Fracture healed well with no pain, and the radial nerve works! She is thrilled with the result.
