Functional treatment according to Sarmiento was applied to 20 cases of humerus shaft fracture, in the course of three years. All fractures healed with good functional result. The approach proved to be effective. Functional treatment, using Brace, was indicated even for fractures in the proximal or distal third of the humerus or in cases of complete failure of the N. radialis. The author's results are described and discussed.
