Outcomes of intramedullary nailing versus plate fixation for humeral shaft fractures: a retrospective cohort study
IMN and plate fixation effectively achieved fracture union; however, plate fixation was associated with better shoulder function, reduced pain, and higher reoperation rates. IMN was linked to a lower risk of nerve injury but compromised shoulder ROM and resulted in more postoperative pain.
