InSafeLOCK® humeral nailing for humeral nonunions: Clinical and radiological results

“…In rare cases, nonunion may occur with an incidence of 15% due to mistakes made during conservative treatment or deformities due to muscle pulls. [2] The mistakes made during conservative treatment are that patients are not frequently checked radiologically and clinically, particularly in the first month. Nonunion is defined as the presence of pathological movement and pain clinically and the absence of union findings within 9 to 12 months radiologically.…”

“…Furthermore, nonunion risk varies according to the fracture's location and is found in the highest proximal humeral fractures. [1,2] According to the sign of life at the fragments' ends, Judet, Miller, Weber, and Cech divided the nonunions into two types: the first type is those that Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the clinical and functional results of patients treated with InSafeLOCK ® humeral nail and iliac crest autograft for humeral nonunion.Patients and methods: A total of 15 patients (11 males, 4 females; mean age: 52.1±15.3 years; range, 31 to 78 years) who were followed conservatively for humeral fractures and operated with the InSafeLOCK ® humeral nail and iliac bone graft in our center between June 2018 and January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Data including demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients, operative data, and pre-and postoperative Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH), and Constant-Murley Scores (CMS) were recorded.…”
