No fluoroscopic imaging is needed with this technique because it is an open one, allowing for a very good view of the operating field. We would point out that with the ability to rotate the arm in both external and internal rotation, intraoperative visualization of the fracture fragments is easily obtained both anteriorly and posteriorly. We have not found it necessary to use fluoroscopy intraoperatively with this technique.
