A member asked:
Need advice from an orthopedist re continuing problems 5 years after broken proximal humerus and orif surgery. 180 deg rom causes pain & swelling.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need exam: If u had orif prox humerus and have the motion now u are describing that is quite good. I assume you still have a plate in your prox humerus... Sometimes the plate can cause impingement after u have healed. Get another opinion or see your treating ors for x-rays and evaluation... Good luck!
