EFORT Open Reviews, 2021
Humeral shaft fractures are relatively common, representing approximately 1% to 5% of all fractures. Conservative management is the treatment of choice for most humeral shaft fractures and offers functional results and union rates that are not inferior to surgical management. Age and oblique fractures of the proximal third are risk factors for nonunion.
