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.
Single-column fractures are relatively rare and account for only 3-5% of distal humerus fractures. Lateral column fractures are more common than medial column fractures. These fractures represent the distal extent of the respective column, including a portion of the articular surface.
