Background: Functional humeral bracing of midshaft humeral fractures has been widely accepted as a gold standard for nonoperative treatment. Despite reported high union rates, there is no proven superiority of any orthosis. Here we aim to compare the outcomes after the use of custom-made thermoplastic vs.

This suggests that each segment of the lumbar spine relates to pelvic morphology in a unique way.
Objectives: This study aimed to establish whether there is a direct relationship between pelvic morphology and lumbar segmental angulation in the sagittal plane.
