The epidemiology of humeral shaft fractures

The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1998
We have analysed 249 consecutive fractures of the humeral shaft treated over a three-year period. The fractures were defined by their AO morphology, position, the age and gender of the patient and the mechanism of injury. Open fractures were classified using the Gustilo system and soft-tissue injury, and closed fractures using the Tscherne system ...

Management of Humeral Shaft Fractures

Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2012
Humeral shaft fractures account for approximately 3% of all fractures. Nonsurgical management of humeral shaft fractures with functional bracing gained popularity in the 1970s, and this method is arguably the standard of care for these fractures. Still, surgical management is indicated in certain situations, including polytraumatic injuries, open ...

Humeral shaft fractures: a review

Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, 2011
Summary Humeral shaft fractures are common orthopaedicinjuries that can often be managed nonoperatively withhigh union rates and excellent results as the generaloutcome. Specific indications exist for operativemanagement and include polytrauma patients, openfractures, certain fracture patterns, and failure to main-tain an acceptable closed reduction ...

Humeral Shaft Fractures in Adults

Southern Medical Journal, 1981
After evaluating the results of treatment of 100 humeral shaft fractures in adults, we found the simplest, most comfortable, and most satisfactory treatment to be that of a sling and coaptive splinting. In all of the 15 patients who had radial nerve injury, the fracture occurred in the distal half of the humerus.

Humeral Shaft Fractures

(1) Initial evaluation of humeral shaft fractures should include a thorough history and physical examination, with particular attention paid to radial nerve function. (2) The reported incidence of radial nerve palsy associated with humeral shaft fracture ranges from 7% to 17% in the literature, with certain patterns, such as the distal one-third spiral

Humeral Shaft Fractures

2017
Humeral shaft fractures are common in elderly osteoporotic patients with low-energy injuries or young patients with high-energy injuries. Fractures of the humerus account for 3–5% of all fractures. Most may be treated with splints and bracing, but open fractures, vascular injuries, and associated brachial plexus injuries do better with operative ...

Humeral SHAFT fractures: Insights to the primary treatment

Hovedformålet med denne afhandling var at forbedre patientbehandlingen af brud på overarmsskaftet, ved at etablere en evidens-base for behandlingsbeslutningen.Studie I var et validitets studie, der undersøgte nøjagtigheden af kodningspraksis for overarmsbrud i Landspatientregisteret. Resultaterne viste høj nøjagtighed for koderne til overarmsbrud.

[Humeral shaft fractures].

Der Unfallchirurg, 2019
There is still no gold standard for the treatment of humeral shaft fractures. This might be attributed to the fact that several commonly used treatment methods have shown good clinical results. A bimodal age distribution of humeral shaft fractures with frequency peaks between 20 and 30 years old and above 60 years old is reported.
