INTERNAL FIXATION OF FRACTURES OF THE SHAFT OF THE HUMERUS BY DYNAMIC COMPRESSION PLATE OR INTRAMEDULLARY NAIL: A PROSPECTIVE STUDY
Dr. Atul Panghate, Dr. Arvind Arora
Abstract :
The indications for surgical management of fractures of the shaft of the humerus are clear, selecting the right implant for internal fixation of humeral fractures has been a dilemma. We hereby present a prospective comparative study of humerus fracture internally fixed with dynamic compression plate or intramedullary nail. Though there was no significant difference between plating or nailing in terms of time to union, compression plating is the preferred method in the majority of fractures of the shaft of the humerus with better preservation of joint function and lesser need for secondary bone grafting for union
