Acute shortening to primarily deal with soft tissue defects is well-recognised in the management of tibial fractures. A case is described whereby a grade 3B open humerus fracture with significant soft tissue injury was managed to union by acute shortening and Ilizarov stabilisation, maximising functional recovery. The use of acute shortening in humeral fractures has not previously been described.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Наружная фиксация является альтернативой внутренней фиксации при лечении открытых переломов плечевой кости. Метод «острого укорочения» (acute shortening) хорошо зарекомендовал себя при лечении переломов костей голени, сопровождающихся обширным дефектом мягких тканей. Однако до настоящего времени в литературе не было сообщений об использовании «острого укорочения» при лечении переломов плечевой кости. В статье описан случай, когда при открытом переломе плечевой кости 3B типа со значительным повреждением мягких тканей удалось достигнуть сращения и хорошего функционального результата, используя аппарат Илизарова и «острое укорочение» плечевой кости на 3 см.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>открытый перелом плечевой кости</kwd><kwd>метод Илизарова</kwd><kwd>чрескостный остеосинтез</kwd><kwd>«острое укорочение»</kwd><kwd>open humerus fracture</kwd><kwd>Ilizarov method</kwd><kwd>external fixation</kwd><kwd>acute shortening</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Aitken G.K., Rorabeck C.H.
