A humeral shaft fracture is defined as a break in the long cylindrical part of the upper arm bone, typically occurring between the shoulder and elbow. It can be caused by high energy trauma in young patients or low energy injuries in elderly patients, with most cases treated conservatively or...
The average bone healing time were 2.5±0.5 months (range, 2-3 months)and 2.2±0.5 months (range, 1.5-3 months) in the plate and nail group respectively. At the latest follow-up, average VAS score was 0.4±0.6 (range, 0-2), the ASES score averaged 85.4±6.8 points (range, 73-96...
(ORIF). The surgical purpose is to restore joint integrity for optimum function afterfracture healing. Ideally, fixation of the bone fragments will be constructed with sufficient strength to allowshoulder jointmotion during the bone healing phase. In a small percentage of cases, a humeral head ...
Fractures of the humerus are relatively common fractures that occur typically with either high-energy trauma in younger patients or low energy mechanisms in the elderly population. This chapter will focus primarily on proximal humerus fractures and humeral shaft fractures, specifically addressing clinical ...

The humerus (/ˈhjuːmərəs/, plural: humeri) is a long bone in the arm that runs from the shoulder to the elbow. It connects the scapula and the two bones of the lower arm, the radius and ulna, and consists of three sections. The humeral upper
(primary stability), they also performed cyclic tests to calculate the percentage reduction in load. Low reduction in load would suggest that the bone-plate construct is able to provide the stability needed for fracture healing (secondary stability). They reported that the locking plate construct ...
A VIDIA BONE score of 1 to 8 indicates a low risk, 9 to 16 a moderate risk, and 17 to 24 a high risk of fracture sequelae after PHF. Patients with a low risk VIDIA BONE score experienced a successful fracture healing in 94%. In contrast, the risk of FS was 84% for patients ...
The fracture will most likely be treated with a plate and screws on the bone or occasionally, with a rod that goes down the middle of the bone. If the fracture is treated with surgery, a brace is fitted as per requirement. This is done at the discretion of the surgeon. Physical therapy...
