Humerus fractures involve a break in the upper arm bone and can occur from falls, direct trauma, or high-energy injuries. These fractures may affect the shaft of the bone or extend toward the shoulder or elbow, often resulting in pain, swelling, bruising, and limited arm movement. Because fracture patterns and severity can vary widely, proper evaluation is essential for effective treatment.
Integrity Orthopedics provides comprehensive care for humerus fractures, with treatment plans tailored to the specific injury, alignment, bone quality, and patient needs. Diagnosis includes a thorough physical examination and imaging to assess fracture stability and guide treatment decisions. The goal of care is to promote reliable healing while restoring strength and function.
Nonoperative Treatment
Many humerus fractures can be successfully treated without surgery. Nonoperative care may include immobilization in a brace, activity modification, and progressive physical therapy to support bone healing and restore range of motion. This approach is often effective for fractures that remain well aligned and stable throughout recovery.
Operative Treatment
Surgical treatment may be recommended for displaced, unstable, or complex fractures that are unlikely to heal properly with conservative care. Operative techniques are selected to stabilize the fracture, restore alignment, and support functional recovery. Surgical planning focuses on promoting bone healing while minimizing complications and long-term limitations.
Integrity Orthopedics delivers evidence-based fracture care, guiding patients through both nonoperative and operative treatment options with clarity, precision, and a focus on long-term outcomes.
