    Author: Laky R.
    Journal: Magy Traumatol Orthop Helyreallito Seb; 1990; 33(1):9-17. PubMed ID: 1969009.
    Abstract:
    Author treated 24 subcapital dislocated humeral fractures with wire fixation of the medullary cavity. The fractures were classified according to Neer. The operation was begun in general anaesthesia with closed reduction; the fixation was made with K-wires through the bone window prepared on the dorsal side of the humerus, above the fossa olecrani. Gymnastics were begun on the 2-3 week. The results were assessed using the point system of Neer. Functional restitution followed in 2-4 months in every patient.
