The treatment of the humeral shaft fractures with AO plate

Abstract

We reviewed 21 cases with humeral fractures which were treated with open reduction and internal fixation using AO techniques. The average follow-up time was 27 months ( 6-47 ). There were other organ injuries in eight patients. Our indications for surgery were fracture of humerus shaft, pseudoarthrosis, loss of reduction and radial nerve lesions ( with external fixation, during plaster-cast treatment and primary ). Secondary operation was performed in five cases. Union occured in all cases. There was permanent dropped hand deformity in one case with radial nerve lesion. Osteomyelitis developed after the operation in the patient who had also primary radial nerve lesion. In this patient, infection was treated and union was seen after application of the tendon transfer.
