Ball Throwers Fracture of the humerus

Location: http://www.cmaj.ca/cgi/content/full/175/1/31

Ball-Thrower's Fracture of the Humerus These radiographs reveal a mildly displaced, comminuted spiral fracture at the distal diaphysis of the left humerus with an associated butterfly fragment. The patient, a healthy recreational athlete with no prior arm pains, described making an off-balanced but forceful throw that was accompanied by a loud...

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

Location: http://www.hwbf.org/ota/bfc/sarm2/exp.htm

After 10 million years of experience we were brainwashed into believing that rigid immobilization of fractures was a prerequisite for fracture healing. Ten million years was not enough. Presentation by Sarmiento

IM Nailing of Humeral Shaft Frx Wheeless

Location: http://www.wheelessonline.com/ortho/im_nailing_of_humeral_shaft_frx

Discussion:
- may be indicated for multi-trauma patients w/ humeral shaft frx, and patients w/ pathologic frx;
- note that following humeral shaft frx, IM nailing provides torsional and bending stiffness of only 20-30% of normal;
- indications:
  - pathologic frx:
    - generally non operative treatment is...

Mid Shaft Humerus Fractures

Location: http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1239985-overview

Although most fractures of the humeral shaft are inherently unstable, nonoperative treatment remains the criterion standard.1 For operative candidates, the role of surgery, as well as which type of surgery is appropriate, is dependent on the patient and the fracture characteristics.

Plate fixation or intramedullary fixation of humeral shaft fractures

Location: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2895341/

Conclusions Our meta-analysis suggests stastistically insignificant differences between plates and nails in the treatment of humeral shaft fractures. Small sample sizes, study heterogeneity, and methodological limitations argue strongly for a definitive, large trial. We recommend that this trial should be a randomized controlled trial with appropriate allocation of patients and...
