Complex Fracture: Humerus

 

Presenting

These x-rays show a complex fracture of the humerus in this 42 year old man who fell from a ladder and caught his arm in the rungs. The fracture has separated the bone into three parts.

Result After Treatment by Dr. Brinker

These x-rays 3 months after surgical treatment with a plate and screws show that the humerus is now reduced and properly aligned and the fracture is healed. The patient has no pain and has returned to work without restrictions with excellent range of motion in the shoulder and elbow.
