Medial plating of humerus shaft fractures through anterolateral approach.
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: Communited humeral shaft fractures treated with anterolateral and posterior plating may have gaping with poor fixation and have chances of radial nerve injury. Hence an alternate technique of medial plating through anterolateral approach is done which showed stable fixation with fewer complications. Aims and objectives: Anatomical stabilization of fractures of humerus shaft by medial Plating through anterolateral approach, and to evaluate the functional outcome. Materials and methods: 40 patients who had fractures of humerus shaft, in the age group of 21 to 60 years, were treated with medial plating through anterolateral approach, these patients were followed over a period of 3 years from june 2013 to may 2016. Results: 39 patients out of 40 recovered completely (97.5%) had good union, no nerve injury, except one patient who had loosening of the plate followed by twisting injury during sleep. Conclusions: Medial plating through Anterolateral approach showed favorable results with less gaping, good fixation, with less surgical time and with fewer complications.
