Humeral shaft fractures occur in about 12-25 per 100,000 individuals annually.
Conservative treatment requires high patient compliance and shows good healing rates, especially for middle third fractures.
Surgical options like plate osteosynthesis and intramedullary nailing provide excellent functional results.
The treatment choice should consider factors like patient age, fracture complexity, and comorbidities.
