Fracture of the surgical neck of humerus treated with combined Chinese traditional and western manipulation
Different types of fracture of the surgical neck of humerus treated by means of combined Chinese traditional and western manipulation are described in detail in this article.
60 cases of fracture of the surgical neck of humerus were treated by manipulative reduction and immobilized with small splints (made of Chinese fir bark). 33 cases were followed up for an average of 31 months. 97.33% of cases have recovered excellently. Early reduction and immobilization with small splint followed by early functional exercises are the keys to rapid and complete recovery.
