    Abstract

    Humeral shaft is one in which main fragment is distal to the surgical neck of the proximal humerus and proximal to the supracondylar ridge distally. Proximally the humerus is roughly cylindrical in cross section tapering to triangular shape distally. The shaft of the humerus has three borders: anterior, medial and lateral. The study was conducted on patients undergoing MIPO technique for humerus shaft fractures. The patients were followed up for 6 months period after taking informed consent and radiological and functional assessment was done. For retrospective analysis patients operated in past were included in the study. Their clinical and functional analysis at 6 months following the procedure were done on an outpatient basis. The mean age in the present study was 60.55 years SD + 12.45 years, the minimum age of the cases in the study was 27 and the maximum age was 84 years. 40.91% cases belonged to the age group 51 to 60 years. 31.82% had co morbidities, 18.18% had only diabetes mellitus, 4.55% each had IHD, both DM and HTN. As per the AO classification 31.82% had 12 A2, 50.00% had 12 A3 and 18.18% had 12 C2 fractures.
