Distal Humeral Fractures: Intramedullary Nail vs Plate Fixation – Mechanics, Techniques, and Complications
Distal humeral fractures represent a unique challenge in orthopedic trauma surgery. While less common than fractures of the humeral shaft or proximal humerus, their complex anatomy, variable fracture patterns, and propensity for complications demand a tailored approach. The debate between intramedullary nailing (IMN) and plate fixation (ORIF) continues to evolve, with both methods offering distinct […]
Hot Topics and Controversies in Midshaft Clavicle Fractures
