Surgical Treamtment of Pseudarthrosis of the Humerus (Study of a Series of 53 Cases)
- Conditions
- Humerus Fracture
- Registration Number
- NCT06360848
- Lead Sponsor
- Ibn Jazzar Hospital
- Brief Summary
Pseudarthrosis of the humerus is a serious complication of humerus fractures, of particular interest to subjects young working people with pseudoarthrogenic risk factors (tobacco++). It represents a real problem therapeutic given the long period of treatment, its disabling socio-professional repercussions and the cost which resulting.
The aim of our work is to evaluate the anatomical and functional results of different surgical techniques. used.
- Detailed Description
The management of pseudarthrosis of the humerus remains a subject of controversy. Given our results, the investigators think that osteosynthesis by plate associated with bone grafting and/or decortication remains the most suitable for the treatment of aseptic pseudarthroses of the humeral shaft while treatment with Ilizarov is most appropriate in septic pseudarthrosis.
However, the best treatment for pseudarthrosis of the humerus remains that of treating the initial fracture. and better control of pseudoarthrogenic risk factors (tobacco++).
