title: Fractures of the humerus.
abstract: Early active mobilization of sporting injuries is usually necessary for good functional results. Stable fixation, especially in severe joint fractures, should therefore be achieved. Indications according to the different fracture types using the AO-Classification and the fixation techniques, are described for proximal, shaft and distal humeral fractures.
