Nonunion and Postoperative Complications Associated With Intramedullary Nailing Versus Plate Fixation of Humeral Shaft Fractures
The findings indicate that IMN is associated with a lower risk of nonunion and radial nerve palsy compared with ORIF with plate fixation in the treatment of humeral shaft fractures. These insights can guide clinicians in making informed decisions regarding surgical intervention, highlighting the importance of individualized treatment planning to mitigate complication risks.
