ANTERIOR BRIDGE PLATING OF HUMERUS– A PROMISING TREATMENT

Dr Mohammed Thanveeruddin Sherule, Dr Arun K

Abstract :

 Functional  acing of humerus consistently gives acceptable functional result as well as radiological union in humerus shaft fracture. However many patients complains of pain and disability during the healing phase and many have residual stiffness of joint at the end of the treatment. Traditional open reduction with DCP though gives acceptable results, it can result in non–union, iatrogenic radial nerve palsy etc as its complications. Non union and plate failure following traditional plating of humerus is extremely difficult to manage. Nailing of humerus fracture is not popular like in other long bones of the body because it produces significant shoulder complaints due to impingement. Here we present our experience of anterior idge plating in shaft of humerus fracture. It is a retrospective analysis of 30 patients who had undergone anterior idge plating with a minimum follow–up of one year.
