Hello, folks. My brother fell off yesterday and he hurt his upper arm. I think he was diagnosed a humerus fracture. I would like to know how these fractures are fixed. Is there anyone who would know to answer my question? I would really appreciate it. Thank you in advance. Bye!

Hello. Don’t worry too much. Humerus fractures can heal without a surgery. Most of them are treated with a sling or a brace. Casting isn’t possible for fractures of this location. However, if the bone fragments are far away, then surgery is needed. Fractures that are near elbow or shoulder are also possible for surgery. This especially goes for the fractures that extend to the joint. I hope everything will be all right with your brother. Good luck!
