DESCRIPTION

This is a presentation of a case of fracture shaft of humerus in an adult with bad local skin conditions in the form of abrasions and CLWs which is a relative contra indication for open surgery. He was treated with closed reamed humerus nailing and the patient just came once for follow up for his hand fixator removal. He was so comfortable doing all the activities that he came for follow up only after two years that too for implant removal. Here are the function at 2 years as well as the steps of implant removal to avoid damage to the rotator cuff.
