Clinical analysis of two minimally invasive internal fixation surgical methods for the treatment of humeral shaft fractures
Objective To compare the clinical outcomes of percutaneous minimally invasive plate and closed reduction elastic intramedullary nail in the treatment of humeral shaft fractures.Methods Seventy patients with humeral shaft fractures were randomly assigned to a control group and an observation group.The observation group underwent closed reduction and elastic intramedullary nail fixation,while the control group underwent percutaneous minimally invasive plate fixation.The treatments,bone metabolism markers,quality of life scores,and the rates of adverse events were compared between the two groups.Results The treatment outcomes,bone metabolism markers,and quality of life scores in the observation group were superior to those in the control group(P<0.05),and the incidence of adverse events was lower(P<0.05).Conclusion Closed reduction and elastic intramedullary nail fixation for humeral shaft fractures enhances treatment outcomes,improves bone metabolism markers,quality of life scores,and reduces the incidence of adverse events.
