Abstract:

BACKGROUND: With the development of minimally invasive surgery, intramedullary nailing and minimally invasive plates for humeral shaft fractures get a good clinical result, but also have some complications. How to improve design of the internal fixation and operation, to reduce or avoid the complications becomes a research hotspot.
OBJECTIVE: To review the research and progress in treatment of humeral shaft fractures in recent years.
METHODS: PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of knowledge, OVID, Elsevier databases, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang database were retrieved by computer with key words of “internal fixation; minimally invasvie plating osteosynthesis; humeral shaft fractures” in Chinese and English to search papers published between January 2005 and January 2010. According to inclusion criteria, 32 literatures were selected in this review.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Only accurately grasping characteristics of internal fixation and each fracture, using individual treatment, we could be get the best clinical results and reduce the complications mostly. The people have deepen recognition of rotator cuff injury in some extent, finded some way to prevent damages preliminarily and improved the design of intramedullary nailing and plates which is easy for the operation and reduce the time and avoid the risk of neurovascular injury in a certain degree.
