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.

Current Reviews in Musculoskeletal Medicine, 2012 Management of humeral shaft fractures has historically been largely conservative. A significant body of literature, dating back to the 1970s, has shown that functional bracing may achieve greater than 90 % union rates and acceptable functional outcomes.

Fixation of Proximal Third Humeral Shaft Fractures in Older Patients
Geriatric Orthopaedic Surgery & Rehabilitation, 2023 Background Humeral shaft fractures occur frequently in older patients. The more proximal end of the shaft is prone to non-union when compared with more distal fractures.

Revista Brasileira de Ortopedia (English Edition), 2010 Humeral shaft fractures (HSFs) represent 3% of the fractures of the locomotor apparatus, and the middle third of the shaft is the section most affected. In the majority of cases, it is treated using nonsurgical methods, but surgical indications in HSF cases are increasingly being adopted.

Anatomic fit of precontoured extra-articular distal humeral locking plates: a cadaveric study [PDF]
Clinics in Shoulder and Elbow, 2021 Background Extra-articular distal humerus locking plates (EADHPs) are precontoured anatomical plates widely used to repair distal humeral extra-articular diaphyseal fractures.

Proximal humeral fractures [PDF]
Current Reviews in Musculoskeletal Medicine, 2011 Proximal humeral fractures may present with many different configurations in patients with varying co-morbities and expectations. As a result, the treating physician must understand the fracture pattern, the quality of the bone, other patient-related factors, and the expanding range of reconstructive options to achieve the best functional outcome and ...

The epidemiology of proximal humeral fractures [PDF]
Acta Orthopaedica Scandinavica, 2001 We present a 5-year prospective study of the epidemiology of 1,027 proximal humeral fractures. These fractures, which tend to occur in fit elderly persons, have a unipolar age distribution and the highest age-specific incidence occurs in women between 80 and 89 years of age. The commonest was the B1.1 impacted valgus fracture, found in one-fifth of the

Humeral shaft fractures: national trends in management
Journal of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, 2017 Background The incidence of humeral shaft fractures has been increasing over time. This represents a growing public health concern in a climate of cost containment. The purpose of this study is to analyze national trends in surgical management of humeral
