In Vitro Testing and Clinical Handling of a Novel Implant Positioning Technology for Proximal Humeral Plating.

Results suggest a strong potential of the Xin1 assistance technology to enhance the surgical procedure and patient outcomes in the rising incidence of osteoporotic humeral fractures. Robust performance in a real-life fracture situation was observed. In-depth validation of the system is, however, needed before placing it into clinical practice.
