Intramedullary Nailing of Humeral Shaft Fractures: Percutaneous Nailing in the lateral position through the Neviaser approach is a reliable Technique

CONCLUSIONS: In the short-term follow-up, osteosynthesis of humeral shaft fractures by using long IMN in the lateral position with the Neviaser approach is a reliable technique. The positioning of the nail, in particular its entry point, and the clinical results were better with the lateral position and Neviaser approach than with the standard position and conventional approach. Further studies with a larger number of patients, assessment of the learning curve, and analysis of the impact of this technique on comorbidities (unchanged cerebral perfusion) are needed to fully validate this technique.PMID:38554997 | DOI:10.1016/j.jse.2024.02.020
