Abstrakt		Fractures of the humerus present about 3 % of all fractures. The majority are closed fractures (85-90 %). In the last two decades an important progress in conservative and surgical treatment of the humeral fractures was achieved. Surgical treatment of humeral fractures was enhanced by the developement of new minimally invasive surgical procedures with biologically more appropriate osteosynthesis and better results. Nevertheless, most humeral fractures are still treated conservatively. Detailed knowledge of the region's anatomy, carefull study of the fracture type and patient's lifestyle and expectations should be considered in the decision for the type of treatment.
