Updated on 19 February 2024

Summary

Nonoperative management of closed humeral shaft fractures (OTA-12) has long been considered the treatment of choice for the majority of these injuries. Operative management of closed humeral shaft fractures utilizing plate and screw fixation has been effectively demonstrated as an alternative treatment option. Both methods are used as standard of care at Eskenazi Hospital. The study is coordinated by Dr. Lisa Cannada and originated at Saint Louis University. The protocol was developed by Dr. Lisa Cannada, Dr. Michael Tucker , Dr. Paul Tornetta and Dr. William Obremsky. As a participating site our aim is to determine whether isolated humeral shaft fractures are optimally treated with internal fixation or bracing.
