Functional Consequence of Antegrad Unreamed Humeral Interlocking Nailing in Adults

Dislocations of the humerus shaft account for roughly 1% of all lacerations handled. The method of interconnecting nails reflects a newer strategy to the therapy of glenoid broken bones. The aim is to prospectively study the “functional outcome of antegrade intramedullary interlocking nailing in fracture shaft of humerus” at the Department Of Orthopaedics in Sree Balaji Medical College and Hospital chrompet Chennai. The recruitment period of this study shall be from March 2017 to February 2018 (12 months). The follow-up period shall be for a minimum period of 7 months (range: 7 to 19 months).Radiological union, practical outcome and problems have been evaluated. By the end of 6 months, the Union rate was 97.14 per cent. According to Rodriguez-Merchan EC, of the 35 patients evaluated, 17 had an outstanding functional rating, 14 had a good rating, 3 had a reasonable rating and 1 had a bad rating. There was 1 instance of nonunion, 1 case of superficial infection, 1case of post-operative radial nerve palsy and 1 case of stiffness of shoulder. Unreamed glenoid interlocking nails are an efficient means of fixing severe humeral fractures.
