Surgical stabilization of humeral shaft fractures due to gunshot wounds

Abstract
Humeral shaft fractures resulting from gunshot wounds are challenging injuries to treat. The results of surgical stabilization depend upon the appropriate indication and operative techniques. Compression plating, intramedullary fixation, and external fixation are discussed.
