Open reduction and internal fixation of humeral midshaft fractures: anterior versus posterior plate fixation

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2019
Background Fractures of the humeral shaft represent 2–4% of all fractures. Fractures of the humerus have traditionally been approached posteriorly for open reduction and internal fixation. Reports of treating midshaft fractures with an open anterolateral

Preliminary clinical and radiographic outcomes of proximal humeral fractures: comparison of ALPS and PHILOS plating in Asian patients in Taiwan

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2020
Background Up to 20% of proximal humeral fractures need to be treated operatively. However, numerus complications were reported by using fixed angled locking plates.

Elastic Stable Intramedullary Nailing for Pediatric Humeral Shaft Fractures Under Ultrasonographic Guidance: A Retrospective Study

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2022
ObjectiveFixation with an elastic stable intramedullary nail (ESIN) is a widely used technique for the treatment of humeral shaft fractures. Ultrasonography (US) is used as an auxiliary tool and alternative to radiography during surgery to reduce ...

Lateral condylar retrograde humeral nail for management of high-energy distal humeral fractures

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery, 2019
Purpose: Distal metaphyseo-diaphyseal humeral fractures are challenging particularly if open, comminuted, or associated with nerve injury. In cases of open distal complex metaphyseo-diaphyseal humeral fractures inamenable for traditional methods of ...

Salvage of a recalcitrant humeral shaft septic nonunion using a linked nail-plate fixation construct with intercalary allograft

Trauma Case Reports, 2021
Open humeral shaft fractures comprise approximately 2% of all fractures of the humerus. Nearly 20% of open humeral shaft fractures will develop deep infection, increasing the risk of nonunion regardless of treatment method.

Coronal shear fracture of distal humerus associated with olecranon fracture: A case report and pathomechanism

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery, 2019
Distal humeral coronal shear fractures are rare and account for around 1% of all fractures at the elbow level and 6% of the distal humeral fractures. Many studies have reported on the associated injuries involving the lateral collateral ligament injuries

Combined Ipsilateral Humeral Shaft and Galeazzi Fractures Creating a Floating Elbow Variant

Case Reports in Orthopedics, 2018
“Floating elbow” injuries of the arm traditionally represent a combination of humeral shaft and forearm fractures which require anatomic rigid open reduction and internal fixation of all fractures to allow for early range of motion exercises of the elbow.

A Shift From Non-operative Care to Surgical Fixation of Pediatric Humeral Shaft Fractures Even Though Their Severity Has Not Changed

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2020
Introduction: Humeral shaft fractures have traditionally been treated non-operatively due to their good union and low rate of functional impairment. In the recent years, upper extremity fractures and their operative treatment have increased in children ...

Stable incidence of surgical treatment and hospitalisation for humeral shaft fractures among 0- to 16-year-old patients in Finland from 1987 to 2010

Journal of Children's Orthopaedics, 2014
Background Studies among children experiencing fractures report an increasing trend toward operative management. In the present study, we examined whether the same trend has occurred for humeral shaft fractures in accordance with increasing interest ...
