Comparison of Plate, Nail and External Fixation in the Management of Diaphyseal Fractures of the Humerus

Abstract

From the results of our study, it is clear that the treatment of humeral shaft fractures guarantee overlapping results with the use of plates, of intramedullary nails, or with the external fixator. Consequently, the choice of which technique to use should be determined based on the experience of the operator and patient compliance.
