Abstract

Distal one-fourth diaphyseal extra-articular fractures of the humerus present unique challengesdue to limited bone stock, proximity to the elbow joint, and risk of iatrogenic nerve injury. Conventional platingtechniques often require extensive dissection, increasing soft tissue morbidity. Antegrade intramedullaryinterlocking nailing offers a minimally invasive alternative that provides stable fixation with less soft tissuedisruption.
