[Subdeltoid approach to the metaphyseal region of the humerus (authors' transl)].
The author has described in 1973 a new approach to the upper end of the humerus. This has been used in 44 cases up to the present time. It is concluded that it is worthwhile in the treatment of tumours, infections, complex fractures or dislocations. However, it should only be used in young adults. In elderly patients, several instances of stiff shoulder have been seen after this approach.
