A member asked:

What is the best way to help a mid-fractured humerus heal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stabilization: I hope you have seen a physician for this and i assume he has told you what to do. Most humeral fracture that are proximal if not displaced may be immobilized for 2 weeks then if the fracture is stable then begin therapy. If any fracture is angulated or unstable surgery would be necessay.
