[Comparison between the results of intramedullary nailing and compression plate fixation in the treatment of humerus fractures].

Abstract

No ideal fixation technique exists in the treatment of humerus fractures. Despite higher non-union rates, intramedullary nailing may be the method of choice in the treatment of humerus fractures because of such advantages as low morbidity, small dissection of soft tissues, and greater ease of application.
