Abstract :

Background: The incidence of humerus shaft fractures has been postulates to be about 1– 2 % of all fractures. Amongst all humerus fractures the fractures at the humerus diaphysis constitute about 14% of all humerus fractures. The outcome of medial plating of humerus and analyze its potential merits and demerits are important. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on patients admitted in college of medicine and JNM Hospital at Kalyani Nadia through the ER or OPD between January 2016 to November 2018. The study was conducted on 18 patients. The patients were selected based on pre–determined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Medial plating is done on these patients. Result: Delayed union is seen on one patient, superficial infection is seen on one patient. Conclusion– antero–medial plating of humorous safe and effective approach for fracture shaft of humerous.
