Clinical outcomes of humeral shaft fractures managed with intramedullary K-wires: A closed reduction approach

These results suggest that intramedullary K-wire fixation may be an effective option for treating humeral shaft fractures, with favorable outcomes in range of motion recovery, fracture union, and a low rate of intraoperative complications.
