Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of the study is to radiologically compare the fracture healing as well
as the functional treatment outcome of conservative and operative treatment of
defined humerusshaft fractures after 6w./12w./and 12 month based on the
modified "constant score".
Detailed Description
