Antegrade Intramedullary Nailing Versus Plating for Treatment of Humeral Shaft Fractures
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Background: Fractures of the humeral shaft are commonly encountered by orthopaedic surgeons, accounting for approximately 3% of all fractures.
Objective: The present study aims to analyze and compare both the techniques interms of functional and radiological outcome.
Method: The present prospective study conducted at Al helal hospital between December 2014 to December 2016, compared two groups of patients (n=20, n=20, total n=40) with either DCP or IMN. The results were compared both radiologically and clinically. The functional outcome was assessed using the constant score.
Results: Our results failed to establish convincingly that either technique is superior to other.
Conclusions: Nailing and plating have equal functional outcomes in cases with shaft humerus fracture.
