Humerus Shaft Fracture in Adult Managed with Elastic Nails: A Case Report and Literature Review of Management Options
This case study examines the management of a humeral fracture in a geriatric patient using three free-floating elastic intramedullary nails. The successful outcome of this approach suggests that this treatment option offers adequate stability for humeral shaft fractures in older adults and can be easily implemented in similar fracture patterns.
