![]() ![]() Humerus fractures can occur in a variety of ways and places, and they all fall under the general category of humerus fractures. In those cases, specific treatment for those issues will be necessary in addition to treating the fracture. It’s important to note that other issues can occur along with the fracture, such as dislocation, nerve or arterial damage, or damage to the brachial plexus. These types of fractures are common in children, but in this article, we are focusing on adults. Open fractures are those where the skin is also broken near the fracture, which can increase the risk of infection.There are also comminuted fractures where the bone is broken into many small pieces.humerus can be displaced or non-displaced, meaning the broken pieces are either far apart or almost touching.Not only can the humerus be broken in different places, but it can also be fractured in different ways. Distal or lower end fracture (the part near the elbow is broken)Ĭomminuted proximal humerus fracture with a dislocation seen on the X-ray.Proximal or upper end fracture (the part near the shoulder is affected).Fracture of the humeral shaft (in the middle of the bone, halfway between the elbow and shoulder).Shoulder or elbow intra-articular fracture (affects the shoulder or elbow joint) or extra-articular fracture (less troublesome).Fracture of the greater tuberosity (near the shoulder).Fracture of the humeral head (near the shoulder), which can be classified as type I, II, III, or IV.Fracture of the anatomical or surgical neck of the humerus, or cephalo-tuberosity (near the shoulder).Some of the different types of humerus fractures include: It can get fractured in different places, and the name of the fracture will depend on where the “break” happened.

It may be result of accident and may be associated with nerve damaged (“drop arm”). When humerus shaft fracture occurs, the arm is swollen and deformed. There are three types of humerus fracture injuries based on the location: proximal and distal humerus fracture and humerus shaft fracture. Cervical collar with Reinforcement Strap. ![]()
