Review describes outcomes of antegrade intramedullary nailing in humeral shaft fractures, suggesting effective surgical methods.
SUMMARY: This review describes intramedullary nailing of humeral shaft fractures through antegrade technique. The case involved a high-energy injury to the humerus in a patient with relevant comorbidities, and discusses the rationale for both surgery in general and nailing in specific. Indications for surgery, setup considerations unique to the lateral decubitus position, and intraoperative methods for avoiding complications are all discussed. A brief review of current relevant literature is included.
