Independent exercises versus physiotherapy in nondisplaced proximal humeral fractures.

42 patients with undisplaced, proximal humeral fractures were randomly assigned into two groups in order to compare the results of instruction to the patient for independent exercises and conventional physiotherapy. No differences appeared between the groups subjectively or as regards functional parameters at 1 as well as at 3 months after the fracture and at a follow up more than 1 year later. As no disadvantage could be found instructions to the patients should in these cases be regarded as a satisfactory after-treatment.

[The surgical treatment of distal humeral fractures].

The treatment of this kind of fractures, especially involving the elbow-joint still is difficult and needs a thoroughly preoperative planning as well as an exact operative technique. Even in spite of optimal therapy failures are not avoidable in some cases, as our statistic shows.

[Treatment of humeral fractures by intramedullary osteosynthesis].

Observations over 175 patients, treated for closed and open fractures of the brachial bone by intramedullary osteosynthesis with a metallic nail, are analysed. Among 175 patients 128 subjects were operated upon for closed brachial fractures, 26--for open fractures, and 21--for gunshot ones.

[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.

[Treatment of childhood humeral fractures by wire fixation].

Out of 526 upper limb fractures treated in the Pediatric Surgery Department of the Péterfy Sándor Hospital between 1970-1975, 63 patients were operated on. (11.9%). Fractures in childhood are generally treated by closed methods because healing of the growing bone is favourable. If it is reasonable, fractures of the forearm bones are successfully treated by means of intramedullary wire fixation, fractures of the elbow by means of transfixation. No septic complication occured following operation. Growth disturbancies were not observed in the affected bones after the operative intervention in the course of 1 to 5 years. On this ground the author recommends the adaptational "minimal" osteosynthesis in the treatment of fractures in infancy, if closed methods do not promise optimal results.
