Abstract
Most of the humeral shaft fractures can be successfully treated conservatively. Due to increasing number of multiple and high-energy injuries, necessity of patient´s compliance and restriction of his selfcare is conservative treatment in background.
Humeral shaft fractures indicated to operation treatment are mostly solved by closed reposition and internal fixation with intramedullar nail (CRIF) or open reposition and internal fixation (ORIF). In spite of the limited number of patients in case serie our results are in accordance with current published data.
Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis is in our opinion safe and effective operation method for humeral shaft fractures treatment.
