ABSTRACT

Objective To summarize the methods and results of treatment of displaced humeral su rgical neck fractures with closed reductio n and percutaneous pin fixation.Methods We reviewed 46patients who had been diagnosed as the displaced hume ral surgical neck fractures and trea ted with closed reduction and percut aneous pin fixation using?2.5mm Kirschner wire with terminal t hread from January 2001to December 2002in our hospital.Results34patients received a complete follow-up.The mean follow-up time was 22months(10to 34months).Evaluation was done with Constant-M urley rating system.The mean absolu te Constant-Murley score was 92(76～100).86%(29/34)of the cases were excellent or good,14%(5/34)were fair,and none were poor.All the fractures united 6to 8weeks after operation,a nd no fixation failure or humeral hea d necrosis was found.Conclusion Treatment of displaced humeral surg ical neck fractures with closed reduction and percutaneous pin fixation can shorten operation time,lead to minimal soft tissue lesion and reliable fixation,and allow early functional exercis e after op-eration and easy removal of the wire.
