Résumé : Fifty six diaphyseal fractures of the humerus (all types from the simple transverse to the most comminuted one) were treated by medullary wiring with a 3 mm thick Kirschner wire. The callus was formed in 54 cases after an average of nine weeks. Function was excellent or good in 47 of 51 cases followed up after 6 mth. So the method can be advocated because of its benignity in execution and aftercare and the quality of the results.
