AbstractDual plating in fractures of the upper extremity is well established for the distal humerus. The indication for the use of dual plating has been expanded over the last few years. While dual plating was originally frequently used in revisions of non-unions, it is nowadays also used in primary fixation of diverse complex fractures of the upper extremity. The high biomechanical fixation strength of dual plating is advantageous in regions with high bending and torsional stresses, such as the humeral shaft. An additional anterior plate provides high fixation strength and reduces the risk of loss of reduction…
