Background: The humeral shaft fracture is relatively common fracture among the younger and older age groups of people followed by direct or indirect violence. Humeral shaft fractures account for approximately 3% of all fractures. We have very few data regarding issue. Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to collect information regarding the procedure and outcomes of antegrade interlocking intramedullary nail in treating humeral shaft fracture. Material and methods: This study was carried out during the period from January 2017 to January 2020 at TMSS Medical College and RCH Bogura & Natore Trauma Center and Hospital, Natore, Bangladesh. Total 15 patients were selected where 10 were male and 5 were female. The study was approved by the ethical committees of mentioned both the institution. Proper written consents were taken from all the participants before starting the main intervention. All data were collected analyzed and disseminated by MS Office program. Results: Postoperative infection were found in 2 patients (13.33%) and shoulder pain in 1 case (6.67%). In this study, excellent and good result were accepted as Satisfactory while fair and poor results were regarded as being unsatisfactory. Among them 5 (33.33%) cases were excellent, 7 (46.67%) cases good, 2 (13.33%) cases fair and 1 (6.66%) cases poor. In this study, overall satisfactory result was found in 12 (80%) cases and unsatisfactory in 3 (20%) cases. Conclusion: The antegraded interlocking intramedullary nail is an effective and technically demanding method for the treatment of humeral shaft fracture.
