The treatment of subcapital humerus fracture with dynamic helix wire and the risk of concommitant lesion of the axillary nerve.

Displaced subcapital fractures of the humerus represent a therapeutic challenge for the surgeon, all the more so because of their high incidence among osteoporotic patients. Open surgical repair involves increased risk of avascular necrosis of the humeral head, while percutaneous reduction and fixation often fails as a result of loosening pins. As a possible solution, a minimally invasive technique was developed in which a dynamic titanium wire helix is inserted into the medullary space of the diaphysis of the humerus and then rotated proximally into the head fragment.

[Clinical and radiological results of distal radius fractures].

We report retrospective analysis of results of conservative and operative methods of distal radial fractures, which was carried out to control our treatment methods. Three hundred and ninety-three patients were treated from 1. 7.
