Instramedullary supramid pin and plate-screw fixation for fracture of the humerus.

: A method of fixing the humerus is presented. A supramid pin is introduced into the medullary cavity and a plate with screws is attached to the bone surface. The screws are driven through the fracture fragments into the supramid pin. The resulting fixation is firm and suitable for certain complicated cases in which the usual fixation methods have their limitations.
