Role of Minimal Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis in Complex humeral Shaft Fractures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Humeral fractures are one of the common fractures. There are various methods to treat humeral fractures. High energy fractures result in increased damage to soft tissues and thus requiring long union time. Minimal invasive plate osteosynthesis is a very handy procedure where biologic fixation can be offered to the patient with minimal complications. It has a learning curve but can be done without any special instrument requirement.

Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis using a helical plate for metadiaphyseal complex fractures of the proximal humerus.
Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) has been used for humeral shaft fractures, but concerns exist about soft tissue injuries. The purpose of this study was to report the surgical technique and clinical outcomes of MIPO using a helical plate for metadiaphyseal complex humeral shaft fractures. Twelve patients with acute displacement involving proximal and middle third humeral shaft fra...
متن کاملMinimally invasive plating osteosynthesis for mid-distal third humeral shaft fractures.
Mid-distal third humeral shaft fractures can be effectively treated with minimally invasive plating osteosynthesis and intramedullary nailing (IMN). However, these 2 treatments have not been adequately compared. Forty-seven patients (47 fractures) with mid-distal third humeral shaft fractures were randomly allocated to undergo either minimally invasive plating osteosynthesis (n=24) or IMN (n=23...
متن کاملMinimal invasive ostheosintesis for treatment of diaphiseal transverse humeral shaft fractures
OBJECTIVE To evaluate patients with transverse fractures of the shaft of the humerus treated with indirect reduction and internal fixation with plate and screws through minimally invasive technique. METHODS Inclusion criteria were adult patients with transverse diaphyseal fractures of the humerus closed, isolated or not occurring within 15 days of the initial trauma. Exclusion criteria were p...
متن کاملSecondary Radial Nerve Palsy after Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis of a Distal Humeral Shaft Fracture
Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis is a widely used procedure for the treatment of fractures of the femur and the tibia. For a short time it is also used for the treatment of humeral shaft fractures. Among other advantages, the ambassadors of this technique emphasize the lower risk of nerve injuries when compared to open reduction and internal fixation. We report the case of secondary radi...
متن کاملTreatment of the humeral shaft fractures - minimally invasive osteosynthesis with bridge plate versus conservative treatment with functional brace: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial
BACKGROUND Humeral shaft fractures account for 1 to 3% of all fractures in adults and for 20% of all humeral fractures. Non-operative treatment is still the standard treatment of isolated humeral shaft fractures, although this method can present unsatisfactory results. Surgical treatment is reserved for specific conditions. Modern concepts of internal fixation of long bone shaft fractures advoc...
