Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of Humeral Midshaft Fracture: anterior Versus Posterior Plate Fixation

About 13 out of 10,000 patients get a humeral shaft fracture each year, accounting for1.0‐3.0% of all fractures. The central part of the humerus is where 60% of all humeralfractures occur. A midshaft humerus fracture typically happens because of a direct impactto the upper arm. Trauma, such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, or motorcycleaccidents, is the most common cause of fractures. Internally fixing humeral shaftfractures is often accomplished by a variety of surgical techniques. Usually, theposterior technique is used to repair distal and mid‐shaft fractures. However, theposterior technique necessitates lateral or prone stance. The aim of this study comparingthe outcomes of internal fixation and open reduction of humeral midshaft fracturesutilizing anterior and posterior plate fixation. We want to conduct this study to getevidence to confirm whether which approach is more appropriate and more successful insuch fractures. Moreover, the findings of this research could profoundly influenceclinical outcomes by guiding orthopedic surgeons in their decision‐making for managementof humeral midshaft fracture.
