Humerus fracture

A humerus fracture is a break in the upper arm bone, which runs from the shoulder to the elbow. It often results from a fall, direct blow, or accident. Symptoms include pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty moving the arm or shoulder. Treatment depends on the fracture’s severity and location and may involve immobilization with a cast or brace, or surgery if the bone is displaced. Healing usually takes several weeks to months, and rehab helps regain strength and movement. Prompt medical attention ensures proper healing and minimizes complications.
