A CASE REPORT: SECONDARY DISPLACEMENT AFTER OSTEOSYNTHESIS HUMERAL SHAFT FRACTURE BY PLATING
Main Article Content
Abstract
A 53-year-old woman, the patient had a humerus fracture 4 months before admission, had undergone surgery with plating. Currently, the patient went for a follow-up examination and found that the fracture was displaced secondary and failure of plating. No history of trauma was recorded. There was no evidence of damage to the radial nerve. We report a clinical case of secondary displacement of a humeral shaft fracture after an open reduction internal fixation by plate to discuss the treatment of this case.
