Outcome of dynamic compression plating in fracture shaft of humerus

ABSTRACT

Background: Fracture shaft of humerus is a common orthopedic problem and represents roughly 3% of all fractures, usually managed non-operatively. The usual operative modalities used for fixation of humerus fractures are the kuntscher nails, dynamic compression plate [DCP], external fixator and intramedullary nail [IMN]. Plating of fracture shaft of humerus is the more common surgical treatment option. There is a higher rate of excellent and good results and tendency for earlier union with the plating of fracture shaft of humerus
