Layered plate for comminuted fractures of humeral shaft: two cases report

Conventional plate is often limited in treating humeral shaft fracture. The research adopted layered plating technique in the treatment of comminuted humeral fractures, and obtained better effect. Firstly, small pieces of steel plates were used to maintain fracture reduction and make the bone in stability. Secondly, conventional plates were used to finally fix the sites of fractures. Postoperative follow-up results found that location and alignment of the bones were excellent, and the bones achieved fracture healing and normal limb functions.
