A clinical case of multifocal fracture combining fracture of the head and diaphysis of the humerus

Relevance. According to statistical data, multifocal fractures of the humerus are quite rare, accounting for approximately 6% of all skeletal bone fractures. Fractures of the proximal humerus and diaphysis of the humerus have a bimodal distribution, as they have both high-energy and low-energy mechanisms of injury. The aim of the study is to demonstrate and analyze the technique of surgical treatment of complex fragment fracture of the proximal humerus and diaphysis of the humerus using a clinical case as an example. Object and methods. Patient V., 37 years old on 12.04.2024 sustained an injury to the right humerus as a result of a fall from a bicycle at high speed. He was admitted to the emergency room of the R. R. Vreden Federal State Institution of Medical and Research Centers, where he was diagnosed with a closed splinter fracture of the proximal part and diaphysis of the right humerus with dislocation of the fragments.
