Humeral fractures constitute about 3% of all fractures. The treatment of this fracture continues to progress. However, operative treatment has a predominant role in the management of this fracture. One such fixation method is the use of flexible intramedullary bundle nailing also known as the Hackethal technique. This is a preliminary study of 40 patients, all of whom have been involved in some form of trauma and fractures of the humeral shaft, either alone or in combination with other fractures. Hackethal’s bundle nailing technique is relatively easy but it requires rigorous surgical procedure performed by an experienced surgeon.
