Traitement des fractures de la diaphyse humérale par l’embrochage centro-médullaire rétrograde de Hackethal: à propos de 54 cas

Year: 2018

Type: article

Abstract: We here report 54 cases of humerus diaphyseal fractures treated via Hackethal's bundle nailing. We observed 3 cases of radial nerve palsy. Therapeutic abstention associated with monitoring was the applied attitude toward these patients on presentation to the Emergency Department. It resulted in recovery. Hackethal's bundle nailing technique is relatively easy but it requires rigorous surgical procedure performed by an experienced surgeon. A rate of 7.84% of pseudarthrosis is reported. Hackethal's bundle nailing is a very safe, improved orthopedic treatment with modest cost.
