HUMERUS SHAFT FRACTURES - PART 2 - EPISODE 16

Humeral shaft fractures represent approximately 1-5 % of all fractures.There is a bimodal distribution with peaks primarily in young male patients, 21–30 years of age, and a larger peak in older females from 60–80 years of age 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. More recently, however, with the advent of new surgical techniques and implant options, less tolerance for acceptable deformity and functional deficits, and less patience with conservative management, many treating orthopaedic surgeons are increasingly likely to consider surgical intervention. In this episode we discuss Coaptation splint and functional bracing for these fractures. Open reduction and internal fixation approaches and techniques discussed. Complications of fractures and treatment discussed. Dr Vivek Allahbadia PD Hinduja Hospital Khar Division Mumbai, India.
