 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 11 Humeral fractures treated with external fixation plate fractures healed [Abstract] Objective To explore a fixation treatment of fractures and clinical experience. Methods Since 1998, the application of external fixator in 5 cases of plate fixation of humeral fractures occurred before the fracture has not healed fractures in the steel around the treatment, which 3 patients with limited open reduction, 2 patients treated with closed reduction. Results fractures healed in 5 patients obtained a satisfactory effect. fracture healing time was 2.5 to 6 months, the average healing time was 4 months, while the original fracture also healed. Conclusion after external fixation before fracture healing fractures occurred in the steel around with simple surgery, trauma and rapid recovery advantages. [Keywords:] plate fracture external fixation of humeral fractures re- Fracture healing after internal fixation of fractures occurred before the plate around, although less common, but it is a serious complication, but also more difficult clinically. If the use of open reduction and re-fixed method, not only complex surgery, trauma (due to the original fracture has not healed, will undermine the already fragile blood supply), and prone to fracture healing complications. The conservative non-surgical treatment of fractures may appear poor and other issues. Therefore, how to achieve a more fractures good result in fracture reduction but not a big trauma, orthopedic surgeon is still faced with a difficult problem. has retained the fixation and internal fixation can be effective around the fracture reduction and fixation, is an ideal way . from 1998 to 2005, we used external fixation for treatment of 5 cases of plate fixation of humeral fractures occurred before fracture healing, and achieved satisfactory results, are as follows. 1 Materials and Methods 1.1 General information on this group in 5 cases, 4 males and 1 female, aged 21 to 58 years, a
