- Certain orthopedic surgeons have moved away from using antegrade intramedullary nailing (IMN) for humeral shaft fractures due to concerns about rotator cuff injuries and inconsistent results from curved nails.
- This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of straight percutaneous intramedullary nailing with dynamic distal locking in treating humeral shaft fractures.
- Results showed a 97% healing rate with no infections or nerve injuries, a mean Constant score of 78±13, suggesting that this technique can enhance both radiological and functional outcomes if the surgical method is well understood.
