Abstract
Introduction: Fractures of humerus are no exception. Fractures of the humeral diaphysis constitute 3% of all fractures. It is the most challenging fracture of upper limb to be treated. Severe damages can occur if fractures are not evaluated and treated properly. The humerus is enveloped by a sleeve of muscles and has rich blood supply which helps in fracture union. As the limb does not take part in weight bearing or ambulation, some amount of shortening is functionally acceptable. But rotational deformity is not tolerated well.Traditionally humerus shaft fractures have been managed with hanging cast or brace
