  • Title: [Fractures of the proximal end of the humerus treated by the Kapandji centro-medullary nailing technic. A review of 21 cases].

    Abstract:
    Over a 7 years period (from September 1989 to April 1996), 25 patients have been treated for proximal humeral fractures using Kapandji's method of internal fixation. Twenty-one were available for evaluation. The mean follow-up was 3 years 9 months. Various indications were found, with a majority of 2 and 3-part fractures. Complications were frequent, the most common being pin migration, but the functional results following Constant scores are very good. The technique is easy, quick, non- invasive and inexpensive. The approach is direct and avoids opening the elbow joint.
