Management of Humeral Shaft Fractures; Non-Operative Versus Operative [PDF]

Archives of Trauma Research, 2015
Context Functional humeral bracing remains the gold standard for treatment of humeral shaft fractures. There is an increasing trend in the literature to perform operative fixation of these fractures.

Fixation of Proximal Third Humeral Shaft Fractures in Older Patients [PDF]

Geriatric Orthopaedic Surgery & Rehabilitation, 2023
Background Humeral shaft fractures occur frequently in older patients. The more proximal end of the shaft is prone to non-union when compared with more distal fractures.

Humeral Shaft Fractures

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.

Isolated simultaneous bilateral humeral shaft fractures in a healthy victim of a road traffic crash: a case report and review of literature [PDF]

Journal of Medical Case Reports
Background Humeral shaft fractures constitute 1–5% of all adult fractures and 13% of humerus fractures. They usually result from low- or high-energy mechanisms.

A protocol for the conduct of a multicentre, prospective, randomized superiority trial of surgical versus non-surgical interventions for humeral shaft fractures: the HUmeral SHaft (HUSH) fracture study [PDF]

Bone & Joint Open
Aims: Fractures of the humeral shaft represent 3% to 5% of all fractures. The most common treatment for isolated humeral diaphysis fractures in the UK is non-operative using functional bracing, which carries a low risk of complications, but is ...

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 Elbow
Background 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.

The clinical outcomes of anterior minimally invasive inverted PHILOS plate fixation for distal humeral shaft fractures [PDF]

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research
Background The unique anatomy and biomechanics of the distal humerus make distal humeral shaft fractures a significant challenge in orthopedic surgery. Conventional posterior surgical approaches are associated with risks such as iatrogenic radial nerve ...

Minimally Invasive Posterior Plating for Comminuted Middle to Distal One-Third Humeral Shaft Fractures: A Case Report [PDF]

Journal of Orthopaedic Case Reports
Introduction: Humeral shaft fractures constitute 1–1.5% of all fractures, with most occurring in the middle and distal segments. While conservative treatment is common, surgical fixation is often preferred for displaced or comminuted fractures ...

The outcome of nonoperative treatment for adult humeral shaft fractures using a U-shaped slab in resource-limited settings: a prospective cohort study [PDF]

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research
Background Humeral shaft fractures, constituting 3–5% of musculoskeletal injuries, are commonly managed conservatively using functional braces. However, this approach may not be feasible in resource-limited settings.

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.
