Abstract
Fractures of the humeral shaft account for approximately 3% of all fractures. It can be treated both conservative or operative method. In operative method it may be in form of plating or interlocking nail. Nailing of humeral shaft fractures has the benefit of smaller incisions, preserved fracture site biology, and load sharing properties . So in this study we are evaluating results of closed interlocking nail in fracture shaft of humerus. The study is based on 48 cases of fracture shaft of humerus treated with interlocking nail. In this study mean union rate was 95.8%, mean time for union was 13.9 weeks, Most common complication is shoulder impingement in 25% patients. Out of 48 cases, 4 cases developed superficial infection, and 2 patients were with iatrogenic radial nerve injury which recovered without any special treatment.
