2010 Allografting in locked nailing and interfragmentary wiring for humeral nonunions CORR Open Access

Location: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2816774

In this prospective study, we compared outcomes after repair of humeral nonunions when morsellized fresh-frozen allograft or autograft was used to augment repair by intramedullary nailing.
We concluded that when used in association with locked nailing for humeral nonunions, allografts can achieve treatment results similar to autografts but without donor...

Comparison of the use of the humerus intramedullary nail and dynamic compression plate for the management of diaphyseal fractures of the humerus

Location: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2267584/

The aim of this study was to compare the results of the humerus intramedullary nail (IMN) and dynamic compression plate (DCP) for the management of diaphyseal fractures of the humerus. Forty-seven patients with diaphyseal fracture of the shaft of the humerus were randomised prospectively and treated by open reduction and...

Distal humeral plating of an intramedullary nail periprosthetic fracture

Location: http://casesjournal.com/content/2/1/6704

The treatment of distal humeral periprosthetic fractures is not widely described in the literature. We present a difficult clinical scenario of a 72-year-old man who sustained a displaced distal humeral periprosthetic fracture about a Polarus Plus intramedullary nail. In this case, stable fixation was achieved using bicondylar Acumed Mayo congruent...

Humeral shaft fractures Orthopaedia

Location: http://www.orthopaedia.com/display/Main/Humeral+shaft+fractures

Humeral shaft fractures are defined as fractures in which the major fracture line occurs distal to the insertion of the pectoralis major and proximal to the supracondylar ridge. It is estimated that these fractures comprise 3-5% of all fractures in adults. Epidemiologic studies have clearly demonstrated the incidence had a...
