A member asked:
What happened to your arm when you have a humerus fracture?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hopefully heals: The fracture has a high rate of healing. Many humerus fractures can heal in a brace. Some require surgery - plating or having a rod placed. Ideally, the fracture will heal and you will have a complete recovery.
