Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Humeral shaft fractures occur with an incidence of approximately 12-25 per 100,000 per year and exhibit two age peaks, young patients following high-energy trauma and older patients with low-energy trauma.
TREATMENT: Principally, conservative treatment is a viable option, which requires high patient compliance but shows good healing rates in appropriate cases, particularly for fractures of the middle third of the shaft. Compared to surgical treatment there is a slightly increased rate of pseudarthrosis. In the case of surgical treatment, both plate osteosynthesis and intramedullary nailing show good results.
RADIAL NERVE INJURY: A distinction must be made between primary radial nerve injury, which occurs immediately after trauma and generally has good spontaneous recovery rates, and secondary radial nerve injury, which is a consequence of the initiated treatment. In this case, careful consideration should be given to the potential need for a surgical intervention.
CONCLUSION: Overall, both conservative and surgical treatment approaches lead to good functional outcomes in appropriately selected patients. The choice of treatment should be made individually, considering the patient's age, fracture complexity, comorbidities and expected patient compliance.
