Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 6
Abstract
A retrospective study of all humeral shaft fractures presenting to bone and joint hospital Srinagar, Kashmir a tertiary care hospital between January 2015 to January 2017 was undertaken. We studied 200 cases of fracture shaft of humerus. The fractures were defined by their AO morphology, position, the age and gender of the patient and the mechanism of injury. Open fractures were classified using the Gustilo system and softtissue injury, and closed fractures using the Tscherne system. Results: The fractures were classified as AO type A in 65.5%, type B in 25.5% and type C in 9.0%. Most (60%) occurred in the middle third of the diaphysis with around 30% in the proximal and 10% in the distal third. The severity of the fracture and soft-tissue injury was greater with increasing injury severity. Less than 10% of the fractures were open. There was a bimodal age distribution with a peak in the third decade as a result of moderate to severe injury in men and a larger peak in the seventh decade after a simple fall in women.
