Management of humeral impending or pathological fractures with intramedullary nailing: reaming versus non reaming technique —a retrospective comparative study

ConclusionOur study suggests possible benefit of URIM in terms of less blood transfusions with no difference in consolidation rates. Even though without significance, a tendency to less blood loss, less events of systemic complication and lower length of stay was observed with URIM. Despite its limitations, this study can be used to design future prospective ventures that quantify patient-reported outcomes and provide more clear evidence.
