The humeral shaft is defined as the area distal to the surgical neck and proximal to the epicondyles.
The commonality of fracture is:
Middle ⅓ > Proximal ⅓ > Distal ⅓ shaft
The deforming forces of humeral shaft fractures usually result in what type of deformity?

Due to the muscular pull of the deltoid on the proximal fragment and medial/superior pull on the distal fragment, humeral shaft fractures tend to develop varus angulation.
Humeral shaft fractures are forgiving, and modest angulation can be overcome by the shoulders' large ROM.
