Intramedullary nailing of humeral shaft fractures [PDF]
From 1996 until 2000 we treated 52 humeral shaft fractures with AO unreamed nailing. Mean patient age was 35.8 years and the average follow-up 29.6 months. There were 31 type A fractures, 15 type B, and 6 type C. Closed retrograde nailing was performed in 46 cases and open nailing in six. Functional results were excellent in 48 cases, moderate in three,

Use of blocked intramedullary shaft for the treatment of humeral diaphyseal fractures [PDF]
Clinical and radiographic outcomes of 31 patients with humeral diaphyseal fractures submitted to surgery with intramedullary shafts were studied. From these, four patients presented fractures at the shaft insertion site and were treated using a different

Reliability, validity, responsiveness, and minimal important change of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand and Constant-Murley scores in patients with a humeral shaft fracture [PDF]
Background: The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) and Constant-Murley scores are commonly used instruments. The DASH is patient-reported, and the Constant-Murley combines a clinician-reported and a patient-reported part. For patients with

Broadening the semiaquatic scene: Quantification of long bone microanatomy across pinnipeds
Abstract Investigations of bone microanatomy are commonly used to explore lifestyle strategies in vertebrates. While distinct microanatomical limb bone features have been established for exclusively aquatic and terrestrial lifestyles, identifying clear patterns for the semiaquatic lifestyle remains more challenging.
