[Treatment of humeral diaphyseal fractures in adults using centro-medullary pinning. Operative technic and indications].
The ascending intramedullary "pinning" technique is known for twenty-five years. Theoretically successful for the diaphyseal humeral fractures in adults, it appeared until now with some disadvantages which limited its use. By adding some modifications, the authors show that this technique is worthwhile in dislocation fractures in adults.
