Complex humerus fractures associated with high-energy trauma present significant surgical challenges due to their impact on limb functionality and structural integrity. This case report details the treatment of a floating upper arm injury, characterized by multiple humerus fractures and a radial neck fracture, in a 50-year-old male following a vehicular accident. The patient exhibited fractures at the proximal, mid-shaft, and distal segments of the humerus, necessitating an integrated surgical approach to effectively manage these injuries. Dual surgical approaches and perpendicular plating were employed to address the multifaceted nature of the fractures. The patient achieved satisfactory functional recovery, regaining a significant range of motion, which highlights the efficacy of the chosen surgical strategy. This case contributes to the existing literature by illustrating the benefits of specific surgical techniques in managing complex humerus fractures, emphasizing the necessity for meticulous planning and execution to optimize patient outcomes.
与高能创伤相关的复杂肱骨骨折因其对肢体功能和结构完整性的影响而带来重大手术挑战。本病例报告详细介绍了一名50岁男性在车祸后发生的漂浮上臂损伤的治疗情况,其特征为多处肱骨骨折和桡骨颈骨折。患者肱骨近端、中段和远端均出现骨折,需要采用综合手术方法来有效处理这些损伤。采用了双重手术方法和垂直钢板固定来应对骨折的多方面特性。患者获得了满意的功能恢复,恢复了显著的活动范围,这突出了所选手术策略的有效性。本病例通过说明特定手术技术在处理复杂肱骨骨折中的益处,为现有文献做出了贡献,强调了精心规划和执行以优化患者预后的必要性。
