[Early functional treatment of humerus shaft fractures by the Sarmiento method].
The functional treatment of humerus shaft fractures with a brace according to Sarmiento is described. Reported are the results of the functional treatment of 47 humerus shaft fractures. Every humerus shaft fracture normally treated conservatively, including the humerus shaft fractures in polytraumatised patients and those patients with a primary radial nerve injury, can be treated in this way. The functional treatment of humerus shaft fractures results in a quick and uneventful healing of the fracture with a good function and cosmetic aspect.
