BACKGROUND: @entity174 shaft humerus is a major cause of morbidity in @entity1 with @entity130 . The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of interlocking nail in humeral shaft fractures. METHODS: This study was conducted in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery in SMS and R Sharda University from January 2010 to November 2013. Seventy-eight @entity1 were recruited from emergency and out- @entity1 department having a close @entity174 . All @entity1 were operated under general anesthesia and closed reamed interlocking nailing was done. All @entity1 were followed for 9 months. RESULTS: Out of 78 @entity1 , 69 @entity1 underwent union in 90-150 days with a mean of 110.68 days. Complications found in four @entity1 who had nonunion, and five @entity1 had delayed union, which was treated with bone grafting. All the @entity1 were assessed clinically and radiologically for @entity174 healing, joint movements and implant failure. The results were excellent in 88.46% and good in 6.41% @entity1 . Complete subjective, functional, and clinical recovery had occurred in almost 100% of the @entity1 . CONCLUSIONS: The results of the present study indicates that in the presence of proper indications, reamed antegrade intramedullary interlocked nailing appears to be a method of choice for internal fixation of @entity3604 .
