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 OnlinePurpose: 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.

A prospective cohort study: promising results with minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis of anterior bridge plating in adult humeral shaft fractures [PDF]
Clinics in Shoulder and ElbowBackground Adult humeral shaft fractures have traditionally been managed conservatively, but surgical intervention is considered for displaced fractures or when conservative treatment is unlikely to be successful.

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.

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.

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.
