Orthobulots Podcast: Humeral Shaft Fractures

Plating of humerous fractures has a high union rate and facilitates early weight bearing which is necessary for rehabilitation with a concomitant lower extremity injury. Bell et al retrospectively reviewed the outcomes of polytrauma patients treated with plate fixation for humeral shaft fractures. All but one of the fractures united and patients had excellent function following surgery, allowing early weight bearing through the injured extremity.
