Abstract: | OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to assess primary stabilization of humeral shaft fractures using three different methods of fixation, represented by a DCP type plate, applied as a bridge plate, an uncommon synthesis material named SPS®, not previously described in literature and also used as a bridge plate, and a third type of material constituted by an intramedullary nail, with an uncommon locking provided by a distal cortical screw and a proximal Ender-type wire. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Twenty-one pairs of human humeri were divided into three groups, each using one type of material for fixation, the bones of which were osteotomized, stabilized and submitted to nondestructive flexion-compression and torsion assays up to 200 N and 100 N respectively, and, in a crossing mechanism, the groups were again submitted to other torsion and flexion-compression assays, supported by statistical analysis. RESULTS: The bridge-DCP group showed good resistance to the applied forces, similarly to the SPS® group, which, although presenting greater deflection, showed great elastic capacity. The intramedullary nail group showed good results in the flexion-compression assay due to the tutor mechanism of the intramedullary nails, but did not show resistance to the torsion forces. |
