Abstract

A method of blocking intramedullary osteosynthesis of metaphyseal fractures of the humeral bone is proposed. Its special features are: retrograde implantation of a nail from the antecubital fossa of the humeral bone, blocking the nail with distal blocking screws and proximal blocking screws which are fixed in the nail at the expense of threaded connection. This method gives exact reposition, absolute stability of fixation, possibility of early load and rehabilitation.
