Abstract

Background: Humeral diaphyseal fractures are more frequent in the younger population and account for 3-5% of all fractures. Open reduction with plate fixation and stabilization utilizing intramedullary nails are the two methods that are most frequently used to achieve stabilization, Aim and Objectives To assess the pace and duration of healing, functional result, and complications related to plate fixation compared to interlocking nailing in the management of a diaphyseal humeral fracture. Patients and methods: This prospective comparative research was done on 40 patients with humeral shaft fractures in Al-Hussein University Hospital and Al Helmeya Military Hospitals for Orthopedics and Supplementation. Patients were separated into 2 groups, Results: There was a statistically significant difference among the examined groups concerning radial nerve injury. There was no statically significant distinction among the examined groups concerning union time, time follow up per months, delay union, Nonunion and mal union, pain, elbow movement, Shoulder movement, infection and satisfaction, Conclusion: Both interlocking nailing and dynamic compression plating help promote fracture union. They offer a reliable method for attaining fracture stabilization and ultimate healing.
