“…There have been reports of iatrogenic radial nerve injury, however, with varied incidence between 0% and 3.3% [8,9,15,[17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. There was no transient iatrogenic radial nerve palsy reported in our study.…”

Objective: Intramedullary interlocking nail fixation (IINF) for the fracture shaft humerus (FSH) offers good clinical outcome. Evaluating the functional outcome of IINF in FSH and assessing the complications of the technique, time taken for fracture consolidation, and union rates were the objectives.Methods: Adult patients with a clinical diagnosis of diaphyseal fracture of humerus were assessed clinically and radiologically for the functional outcome of IINF in FSH. Functional outcome of shoulder and elbow considered together was graded as excellent, moderate, and poor. Daily assessment was done along with active physiotherapy. All were followed up at monthly intervals for 6-12 months or till the union of fracture. Radiological assessment was done at immediate post-operative period, at months 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months.Results: 30 patients (males n=24, 80%) with a mean(±standard deviation) age of 39(±13.31) years were included. Road traffic accident was the frequent cause (n=18, 60%). Indirect injury was the cause in 66.66% patients. Middle 1/3 rd of shaft of humerus was fractured in 53.33% patients. 10 (33.3%) patients each had oblique fracture and transverse fracture, respectively; comminuted fracture was seen in another 26.6% patients. Radial nerve palsy (10%) was the frequent associated injury of the total nine. The overall functional outcome was excellent in 80%, moderate in 16.6%, and poor in 3.3% patients. Postoperatively, nonunion, superficial infection and shoulder stiffness was seen in one patient each. Conclusion:IIFN is an excellent, least invasive surgical option for FHS with early fracture consolidation and better union rates.

“…Incidence are seen varies with the procedure adopted, higher incidence with plate fixation [19,23,25,26]; intramedullary nail fixation is associated with less incidence, however, even open procedures have reported lesser incidence [15,21,22,27] [28], which may require removal of nail and appropriate antibiotic therapy [11].…”

“…Unacceptable fracture displacement, infection, and iatrogenic radial nerve involvement did not occur when operative methods were used in multiply injured patients. Two of 3 multiply injured patients treated with bracing had delayed union, also indicating that treatment modalities using gravity to obtain alignment should not be used in such patients (Vichare 1974, Bell et al 1985, van der Griend et al 1986). …”

“…Plate fixation is considered the gold standard for shaft fractures of humerus 6-9. Anerolateral approach is widely accepted for treatment of these injuries [10][11][12][13][14] , and posterior plating is also largely accepted .The complex and nonunion fractures of humeral shaft plate fixed medially by Judet 15,16. Medial surface plating is easy for fracture reduction.…”
