A member asked:
I have a spiral fracture of my humerus the injury is a week old its just below the shoulder to mid humerus.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: If the fracture is as you describe and is not displaced you might need a brace or splint after 4-6 weeks you will likely need some therapy if the fracture is displaced you might need surgery to correct the fracture position and obtain the best healing.
