A member asked:
What can i do to speed up the recovery from an avulsion fracture to humerus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Protection: An avusion fracture means that a muscle pulled off a small piece of bone to which it attaches. The best way to heal as quickly as is to avoid using that muscle and avoid repetitive motion of the bone fragment. A splint o rbrace may help.
