Abstract
COPYRIGHT © 2015 BY THE JOURNAL OF BONE AND JOINT SURGERY, INCORPORATED » Most humeral shaft fractures will heal without operative treatment. » When indications for operative treatment are met, plate fixation is reliable and safe. » Nail fixation may be helpful in pathologic or highly comminuted fractures, but use of nails for routine fractures is associated with more shoulder dysfunction than plating or nonoperative treatment. » Radial nerve palsy in the closed fracture setting usually resolves without surgical intervention.
