Evaluation of the results of treatment of fracture shaft humeras in adult by using dynamic compression plate

Twenty one cases of the humeral shaft were treated operatively by an open reduction and internal fixation by plate and screws in El-Monoufia University Hospital. Narrow dynamic compression plate was used in fixation of eighteen cases while rounded hole plate was used in fixation of three cases. Radial nerve injury was associated with humeral shaft fracture in 2 cases. All patients evaluated postoperatively for rate of union, shoulder motion and elbow motion. The results were excellent in 90% of cases and poor in 10% of cases due to severely comminuted fracture and radial nerve injury
