To the Editor: We read with much interest the article, “Axillary nerve lesions after open reduction and internal fixation of proximal humeral fractures through an extended lateral deltoidsplit approach: electrophysiological findings” by Westphal et al. The goal of this study was to determine the frequency of axillary nerve lesions resulting from the operative treatment of proximal humeral fractures using a locking plate through a deltoid split approach. In this retrospective study, neurologic and electrophysiological examinations were performed in 40 of the 76 patients to detect axillary nerve lesions. We have the following comments to the article:
