Titin is a giant protein responsible for muscle elasticity and provides a scaffold for several sarcomeric proteins, including the novel titin-binding protein MURF-1, which binds near the titin M-line region.
ORIF Surgery for Proximal Humerus Fracture. This surgical procedure repairs a break in the proximal end of the humerus. ORIF stands for Open Reduction Internal Fixation. During this procedure, an incision will be made and a metal plate will be attached to the humerus to hold the bone in place while it heals. Preparation.
These fractures as a whole require at least 1 year for recovery. Yang et al reported functional outcomes following treatment with a proximal humerus locking plate in 64 patients followed for more than 1 year. They divided the study population into two groups depending on the presence or absence of inferomedial mechanical support of the humeral head segment.
