Humeral shaft fractures account for approximately 3% of all fractures. Nonsurgical
management of humeral shaft fractures with functional bracing gained popularity in the …

The rate of nonunion is estimated to be 1.1% to 10% following closed treatment of proximal
humerus fracture and 5.5% following closed treatment of humeral shaft fracture. Surgical …

Background: Delayed union or nonunion of a fracture of the humerus is an infrequent but
debilitating complication. Open reduction and internal fixation combined with autologous …

Background: Volar plate fixation with use of either a locking plate or a neutralization plate
has become increasingly popular among surgeons for the treatment of dorsally comminuted …

PURPOSE: Volar plating for distal radius fractures has caused extensor tendon ruptures
resulting from dorsal screw prominence. This study was designed to determine the …

In this study, we present a novel method for performing dual plating of extra-articular
fractures of the distal third of the humerus. Since 2006, we have treated 15 such fractures …

Surgical stabilization of humeral shaft nonunions can be difficult to achieve if severe
osteopenia or loss of bone stock is present. We present a technique whereby a 4.5-mm …

Objectives: To investigate whether locking screws offer any advantage over nonlocking
screws for plate fixation of humeral shaft fractures for weight-bearing applications. Design …

Background: Humeral shaft nonunions are challenging to treat, and those that require> 1
surgical procedure in order for a nonunion to heal are termed recalcitrant. Most studies on …
