Novel computer-assisted preoperative planning system for humeral shaft fractures: report of 43 cases

摘要

BackgroundTreatment for humeral shaft fractures is restoration of a painless shoulder and elbow with satisfactory function, but achieving good clinical outcomes for fracture healing is difficult, particularly in elderly patients. The aim of the study was to determine if computer-assisted preoperative planning (CAPP) improves clinical outcomes of humeral shaft fractures.
