Palliative Surgery for Pathological Fracture of Humerus by Intramedullary Interlocking Nail: Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 9
Abstract
Human skeletal system is most commonly affected by metastasis followed by lungs & liver. Majority of bone lesions which are nonmesenchymal in origin are due to metastasis apart from myeloma &lymphoma. Amongst all long bones, humerus comes next to femur to be affected by metastatic deposits. Casts, splints& braces have been used conventionally in the management of pathological fracture of humerus but over the years surgical intervention has gained popularity as it promises better pain relief & functional outcome. Factors such as quality of bone, size of the lesion, life expectancy etc. determine the decision making of choosing the best fixation modality. Internal fixation options include intramedullary nail, plate with screws, endoprotheses & arthroplasty.
