Humeral shaft fractures

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.

Outcome of Radial Nerve Palsy in Closed Humeral Shaft Fractures Treated Operatively and Expectantly [PDF]

Journal of Hand Surgery Global Online
Purpose: Recent trends favor earlier surgical intervention for humeral shaft fractures, based on the idea that operatively treated humerus fractures with associated radial nerve palsy may result in an earlier return of nerve function.

Associations between food insecurity, neighborhood-level socioeconomic disadvantage, and humeral shaft fracture healing: a retrospective study [PDF]

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Background Humeral shaft fractures are common injuries with a high risk of nonunion, particularly when treated nonoperatively. Food insecurity—a modifiable aspect of social disadvantage—is prevalent in orthopedic trauma populations and may adversely ...

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.

Humeral shaft fractures [PDF]

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.
