Özet

Background: Intramedullary nailing is the procedure of choice for pathologic fractures in humeral shaft because it allows early pain relief and mobilization. The aim of this study was to analyze the prognostic factors affecting survival of patients with pathologic humeral shaft fractures treated with intramedullary nailing without tumor removal.
