Anatomy Distal Humerus Fractures of the Elbow. A distal humerus fracture is a break in the lower end of the upper arm bone (humerus), one of the three bones that come together to form the elbow joint. A fracture in this area can be very painful and make elbow motion difficult or impossible.

What is Elbow Fractures? An elbow fracture is a break in one or more of the bones that make up the elbow joint. The bones in the elbow joint are Humerus — the upper arm bone, Ulna — the larger of the forearm (lower arm) bones, Radius — the smaller bone in the forearm. 1  Acute severe pain in the elbow and forearm.  Numbness.

Proximal Humerus Fracture A proximal humerus fracture occurs when the ball, of the ball-and-socket shoulder joint, is broken. The fracture is actually at the top of the arm bone (the humerus). Most proximal humerus fractures are non-displaced (not out of position), but about 15-20% of these fractures are displaced, and these may require more invasive treatment.

Proximal Humerus Fractures Treatment & Management Currently, a greater tuberosity that is displaced 5 mm or more is commonly considered a fragment that should be reduced. Contraindications for repair of proximal humerus fractures include inability to tolerate the procedure medically and lack of clearance for surgery through the primary care physician or specialty consultants (ie, cardiologist, vascular specialist).

Recovery after humerus fracture March 2nd, 2012. I broke my humerus the 3rd of January 2012. I had surgery(nailing) and I was put in a sling for about 3 weeks. It is about 7 weeks post op now. I have been doing physiotherapy but I have still a lot of pain and limited movements.

Proximal Humeral Fracture What is is a Proximal Humerus Fracture? The humerus is one of the long bones of the arm. The distal, or bottom, end contributes to the elbow joint. The proximal, or top, end contributes to the shoulder joint. During a traumatic event, like a fall, any part of the humerus is susceptible to injury. Other bones, including the clavicle (collarbone) or scapula (shoulder blade) can also be injured.

Elbow Dislocation An elbow dislocation occurs when the bones of the forearm (the radius and ulna) move out of place compared with the bone of the arm (the humerus). The elbow joint, formed where these three bones meet, becomes dislocated, or out of joint.

- A fracture occurs when there is a “break” or a “crack” in the bone. Within the shoulder area, there are 3 distinct bones that could suffer a fracture: the collarbone (clavicle), the upper arm bone (proximal humerus) and the shoulder blade (scapula).

Adult Humerus Shaft Fractures A fracture of the humeral shaft causes pain in the upper arm. You will probably not be able to raise the arm and the arm will have a tendency to flop and bend. There is usually bleeding from the fracture into the tissues of the upper arm. Significant swelling commonly occurs from the shoulder to the hand.

- 1 Fractures are broken bones. 2  Fractures commonly involve the clavicle (collar bone), proximal humerus (top of the upper arm bone), and scapula (shoulder blade). 3  Dislocations occur when the bones on opposite sides of a joint do not line up.

Humerus fracture There are three locations that humerus fractures occur: at the proximal location, which is the top of the humerus near the shoulder, in the middle, which is at the shaft of the humerus, and the distal location, which is the bottom of the humerus near the elbow.

Elbow Injuries 1 Distal humerus fracture. 2  A fracture of the lower end of the upper arm bone where it meets the radius to form the elbow is called a distal humerus fracture. 3  This type of fracture is not common, but can occur as the result of a direct blow to the elbow or from falling with an outstretched arm. 4  Bursitis.

- men [1,3]. Most of the proximal humeral fractures are non displaced or minimally displaced and stable. These can be treated non operatively successfully with early rehabilitation. But severely displaced and comminuted fractures warrant surgical management for optimum shoulder function. Surgeons should be

Broken Shoulder: Proximal Humerus Fracture Patients who have a proximal humerus fracture are in for quite a long recovery, with or without shoulder surgery. Without shoulder surgery it can take 4-6 months for the bone to fully heal. proximal humerus fracture is a type of broken shoulder – it’s a fracture of the bone that connects your shoulder to your elbow.

- In terms of structure, the humerus serves as a connection between the scapula and the elbow, where it links to the two lower arm bones. The humerus bone of the upper arm (the arm in anatomy refers only to the top part of the upper limb i.e. between the elbow and the shoulder).Like all bones it gives shape to the body and acts as an attachment site for the muscles around it. A humerus bone fracture can occur for a variety of reasons, but the most common cause is a fall. 2  T…. 3  Humerus Bone Fractures: Proximal, Mid-shaft and Distal Your humerus bone connects your shoulder to your forearm and has multiple other bones and muscles attached to it.

Anatomy A fracture of the distal humerus occurs when there is a break anywhere within the distal region (lower end) of the humerus. Distal humerus fractures are fairly uncommon. They may occur in an isolated manner (that is, there are no other injuries), but can also be a part of a more complex elbow injury.

Humerus fracture Proximal and distal fractures will often cause a loss of shoulder or elbow function. Displaced shaft and distal fractures may cause deformity, and such shaft fractures will often shorten the length of the upper arm. Most humerus fractures are nondisplaced and will heal within a few weeks if the arm is immobilized.

- There are two ways supracondylar fractures occur, high impact on a hyperextended elbow or a supracondylar flexion of more than 90 degrees. Fractures of the distal humerus are most commonly due to a falling on your hand with arms fully extended, causing direct trauma to the elbow. The distal condylar complex would shift in either the posterolateral or posteromedial direction, which account for approximately 95% of supracondylar fractures.
