Human Shaft Fracture and Comparison Between Humerus Interlocking Nail and Compassion Plating

Abstract

The management delves into the handling of humeral shaft fractures, with a focus on comparing two major surgical methods. The use of a humerus interlocking nail and compression plating. The adaptability and stability inherent in compression plating render it suitable for a variety of fracture patterns, enabling precise anatomical alignment and facilitating early weight bearing. Despite its invasive nature, surgeon familiarity is pivotal in mitigating potential complications. Also the humerus interlocking nail offers an alternative strategy. The decision between these approaches hinges on individual patients' factors, fracture characteristics and the surgeon's expertise. According to Shaw et al. (2020), archives optimal outcomes necessitates a collaborative decision making process involving the orthopaedic team and the patient. This abstract sheds light on the considerations and intricacies surrounding these methodologies offering insights to guide clinicians in making well-informed choices for the effective management of humeral shaft fractures.
