title: [Fractures of the humeral shaft: role of fasciculated nailing using Hackethal's method. Apropos of 129 cases].
abstract: This retrospective study was based on 141 diaphyseal fractures of the humerus, treated by Hackethal fasciculated pinning, among 371 fractures followed up during 10 years in our department. There were six preoperative radial paralyses. The mean consolidation delay was 65 days. Six fractures did not unite and there was no sepsis. The only immediate neurological postoperative complication was a regressive cubital paralysis. 72 fractures could be followed-up with a mean of 4 years, to establish a functional result chart. 94.4 per cent of the results were good and very good, 2 shoulder stiffness and only one elbow stiffness. The displaced fractures of the humeral diaphysis on D2 to D5 zones, as well as pathological fractures are good indications for Hackethal fasciculated pinning.
