ABSTRACT
[Objective]To summarize the clinical effect of revolving self-lock nails and normal operative therapy for humerus shaft fracture,and discuss the perfect treatment methods.[Method]We retrospectively analyzed and compared the outcome and complications of the the humerus shall fracture by normal operative therapy in 96 cases(compression plate 42 cases,monolateral fixator 26 cases,embracing fixator 28 cases);revolving self-lock nails 39 cases.[Result]The operative time,volume of blood loosing,the radial nerve injury,the infection rate and the breakage rate of the group treated with normal operative therapy were obviously more than the group treated with revolving self-lock nails,and the satisfactory rate after operation of the group treated with normal operative therapy was less than the group treated with revolving self-lock nails.[Conclusion]Revolving self-lock nails can avoid much shortcoming of transverse locking nails.The advances of revolving self-lock nails are convenient in operative procedure,with little invasive of operation,solid internal fixation and safety compared with the normal operative therapy.And revolving self-lock nails has two kind choices:anterograde transfixation and retrograde transfixafion,thus it can protect function of shoulder joint in some ways,so revolving self-lock nails is one of the idea choices to treat the fracture of shaft of humerus.In opposition,normal operative has much shortage and it is restricted by type of fractures.
