 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 8 Absorbable screws of humeral head fractures in 13 cases experience [Abstract] Objective: To investigate the absorbable screw fixation of humeral head fractures and clinical efficacy. Methods: The absorbable screw of fresh humeral head fractures in 13 cases. Results: All patients were in stage wound healing. X-ray showed anatomical reduction .13 patients were followed up for 6 to 24 months. Fracture healing time was 6 to 9 weeks. Morrey scoring with therapeutic evaluation: excellent in 9 cases, good in 3 and poor in 1 case. Conclusion : absorbable screw fixation of humeral head fractures satisfactory reduction, stable fixation, is conducive to fracture healing, to avoid the second surgery, results were satisfactory. [Keywords:] humeral head fractures; absorbable screws; fixation Humeral head fractures are rare clinical elbow injury, elbow fractures account for about 1%, 6% of distal humerus fractures [1], often associated with trochlear fractures, most require surgery .2006 January ~ 2009 In December, I absorbable screws of humeral head fractures in 13 cases, good results are reported below. 1 Materials and methods 1.1 Case information: The group of 13 patients, 8 males and 5 females, aged 18 to 56 years. The left side in 8 cases, the right side in 4 cases. Injury to the operative time was 8 hours to 6 days. X line is the line side of the elbow slice diagnosed in 6 cases, more than 7 cases diagnosed after CT reconstruction. All patients were closed fracture is not associated with vascular and nerve damage. by Mehdian et al classification criteria [2]: type (Haln- Steinthal fracture): humeral head fractures involving most or all, of the larger chip fractures, and 8. type (Kocker-Lorenz fracture): the shell-shaped piece of bone humeral head articular cartilage cap, with only a small amount of the subchondral bone, 2. type: humeral head comminuted or compression fracture, 0 case. type: shear fracture of the hume
