[Our experience with microsurgical methods of the treatment of injuries of the radial nerve caused by humeral fracture].

Experiences are presented with the surgical treatment of 33 patients with traumatic radial nerve injuries after humerus fracture. Diagnostic and surgical difficulties of primary orthopaedic humerus fragment union by osteosynthesis with simultaneous evaluation of the damaged nerve. In the group of patients who had been given primary orthopaedic treatment the causes were analysed of reinnervation failure. In another group of patients undergoing metal plate removal after full bone union had been achieved the own experiences are presented related to an improved method of operative approach and delayed reconstruction of the damaged nerve. The authors suggest reconstruction of radial nerve injury after humerus fracture by specialized teams of orthopaedic surgeons and neurosurgeons.

[Intramedullary interlocking of humeral fractures and nonunions with Seidel nail].

The advantages and disadvantages of interlocking Seidel's nails determined by their construction and the way of insertion were presented on the basis of own experience and literature. The advantages are strength and shape of the nails which are conductive to fragments stability and make insertion into humerus medullar canal easier. The tools set for insertion and locking of distal part. It doesn't truly protect from torsion displacements. Locking takes place by draw for a few weeks by external immobilization. The Seidel's nail has also disadvantages associated with proximal insertion. Unavoidable injury of supraspinatus tendon insertion can be the reason of loss of shoulder function. The antegrade fixation can cause pushing distal fragment downward by tip of the nail. It is necessary to control it's insertion under image intensifier. Presented disadvantages of Seidel's nail fixation didn't result in any problems in humerus fractures or pseudoarthroses healing. In one case it was necessary to perform additional decortication and space of fracture fulfillment with bone grafts.

[Concept of functional therapy exemplified by fresh closed humeral fracture].

The method of functional treatment of closed humerus fractures has gained an established position of success. A good outcome has proved to depend not only on correct indication, but it also depends decisively on physiotherapeutic exercises. The challenge to the physiotherapist has grown, and a standardised concept is now required. The authors' own approach is described in some detail. Excellent success was obtained from 80 in 82 cases, with average periods of treatment being shortened by something between two and four weeks.

[Is surgical treatment of fresh, closed humeral fractures justifiable as a routine procedure?].

Excellent results were found to be achievable from conservative functional treatment of upper arm fractures. A critical appraisal is made in this paper of the authors' own cases and of literature published over the past 25 years for comparison of the above results with surgical therapy. The conservative functional approach was found to be the optional method to cope with closed upper arm fractures, since it provides all the advantages of surgical therapy, yet, without the risk implied in surgery. Publications on improved results from surgical therapy cannot be accepted as reasons for a general expansion of indications.
