Abstract
Proper humeral height is key to success in shoulder hemiarthroplasty in comminuted fractures of proximal humerus. Restoring it in a precise way results in excellent functional outcome. Pectoralis major tendon serve as a reliable landmark for this purpose. Preoperative templating by Gothic Arch technique was almost comparable to intraoperative measurement using pectoralis major tendon as reference. Purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of the surgical technique using pectoralis major tendon as reference for restoration of humeral length.
