Early rehabilitation is possible, for instance the consistent return of abduction, forward flexion at 90 degrees at 2 to 3 weeks.
The use of suture osteosynthesis in areas of communtion and rotator cuff repair is readily achieved though clips on the plate.
The surgical approach emphasizes no periosteal elevation.
