Clinical treatment of humerus fracture using intramedullary humerus nailing system

Background: The clinical results of intramedullary humerus nailing system of humeral fracture is controversial variation in implants, and follow up factor and operative technical studies. Humerus fracture is the third long fracture after femoral and tibia bone fracture.Methods: In this prospective study, 45 patients (24 female and 21 male) between the age group of 18-75 years with humerus fracture were taken who did not get conservative management. Type of fracture was categorized according to AO classification. Intramedullary humeral nailing system (compression intramedullary humerus nail, reconstruction nail and reconstruction intramedullary humerus nail) manufactured at Auxein Medical Pvt. Ltd., was used to treatment of humerus fracture. Patient physical fitness was observed according to American Society of Anesthesiologist. Pain scale and outcomes was record from the patients using visual analog scale. Follow up of the patients were taken on 3-week, 8-week, 16-week, 1-year and 2-year.Results: At 2 years follow up, bone consolidation was present in 44 cases. Only one case has reported of mortality but that was not due to implant related. No clinical and biomechanical complications were reported. Proper healing of implant was achieved.Conclusions: Intramedullary humeral nailing system is the best treatment option to treat the humerus fracture. Compression intramedullary humerus nail can minimize the gap and increase the biomechanical stiffness
