Six cases with the fractures of the humeral neck were surgically treated with a spiral pin in our clinic and four of them were followed. The average follow-up time was about 7 months (ranged from 4 months to 10 months).The average degree of motion of the shoulder joint after operation is as follows-124 degrees of flexion, 123 degrees of abduction, 48 degrees of extension, 48 degrees of external rotation and 92 degrees of internal rotation. All of them were satisfied with the result. Internal fixation with a spiral pin gives rigid fixation and therefore allows early movement of the shoulder joint. It is concluded that the spiral pin is a good fixation device for the humeral neck fracture.
