A Rare Neglected Ipsilateral Humeral Triad: Comminuted Proximal Humerus Nonunion with Avascular Necrosis, Mid-Shaft Fracture, and High Radial Nerve Palsy Managed with Staged Reconstruction

Journal of Orthopaedic Case Reports | 2026 | Visakh Pandikasalayil, J Praveen, Adhithya Kaushik, S Anandkumar

Introduction: Ipsilateral humeral shaft and proximal humerus fractures are rare and typically an outcome of high-energy trauma. The coexistence of humeral head avascular necrosis (AVN) and high radial nerve palsy in a delayed presentation makes management particularly challenging and is rarely reported in the literature. This case is important as it highlights a unique combinat...

<p>Fractures in the distal third of the humerus shaft usually are associated with complete or incomplete radial nerve lesions which may be caused due to traction, entrapment or compression between bony fragments. We managed these patients by bridge plating using minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis. A total of 5 patients were operated on and all showed full func...
