Because of the complexity of proximal humeral fractures, the treatment of proximal humeral fractures has always been a challenge for clinicians. The MultiLoc intramedullary nail is a new type of internal fixation device which has been gradually used in the treatment of proximal humeral fractures in recent years. At present, it is mainly used in the Neer two- and three-part fractures, especially surgical neck fractures. Its flexible design can provide personalized and multi-plane fixation for fracture patients, “screw-in-screw” and medial supporting screw can effectively reduce the axial displacement and varus angle of humeral head, and minimally invasive surgical incision can reduce the injury of rotator cuff. This review focuses on the research status and related evidence of the design, operation, prognosis, and postoperative complications of MultiLoc intramedullary nail, in order to provide a theoretical basis for the application of MultiLoc intramedullary nail in fracture treatment, and enhance clinicians’ understanding of MultiLoc intramedullary nail as a new type of internal fixation device.
