Its upper plan ends in the humeral head and forms part of the shoulder. Its lower part is called the distal humerus and forms part of the elbow. A humeral shaft fracture is a break right in between, involving the middle part of the humerus. This is a common fracture, especially in the elderly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"\u03ba\u03ac\u03c4\u03b1\u03b3\u03bc\u03b1-\u03b4\u03b9\u03ac\u03c6\u03c5\u03c3\u03b7\u03c2-\u03b2\u03c1\u03b1\u03c7\u03b9\u03bf\u03bd\u03af\u03bf\u03c5-\u03b1\u03af\u03c4\u03b9\u03b1\">What causes a humeral shaft fracture?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">A humeral shaft fracture is usually caused by a low-energy fall in older individuals, or by high-energy injuries, such as road traffic accidents, in the young. These fractures can also happen in contact sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"\u03ba\u03ac\u03c4\u03b1\u03b3\u03bc\u03b1-\u03b4\u03b9\u03ac\u03c6\u03c5\u03c3\u03b7\u03c2-\u03b2\u03c1\u03b1\u03c7\u03b9\u03bf\u03bd\u03af\u03bf\u03c5-\u03c3\u03c5\u03bc\u03c0\u03c4\u03ce\u03bc\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1\">What are the symptoms of a humeral shaft fracture?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Symptoms of a humeral shaft fracture include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Arm pain<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Swelling and bruising in the arm that can track down the rest of the upper limb<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inability to lift the arm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Numbness in the arm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Radial nerve palsy \u2013 your nerve may fall asleep or get bruised, causing a numb patch in your wrist and hand, as well as inability to lift your wrist or straighten your fingers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"\u03ba\u03ac\u03c4\u03b1\u03b3\u03bc\u03b1-\u03b4\u03b9\u03ac\u03c6\u03c5\u03c3\u03b7\u03c2-\u03b2\u03c1\u03b1\u03c7\u03b9\u03bf\u03bd\u03af\u03bf\u03c5-\u03b4\u03b9\u03ac\u03b3\u03bd\u03c9\u03c3\u03b7\">How is a humeral shaft fracture diagnosed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The doctor will see you, take a detailed history and perform a physical exam focused on your neurovascular status, taking care not to cause any further pain and discomfort. An x-ray is usually sufficient to confirm the diagnosis. Your doctor may request further imaging to help with planning, typically a CT scan, especially if surgery is contemplated and your fracture extends towards the joints.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"\u03ba\u03ac\u03c4\u03b1\u03b3\u03bc\u03b1-\u03b4\u03b9\u03ac\u03c6\u03c5\u03c3\u03b7\u03c2-\u03b2\u03c1\u03b1\u03c7\u03b9\u03bf\u03bd\u03af\u03bf\u03c5-\u03b8\u03b5\u03c1\u03b1\u03c0\u03b5\u03af\u03b1\">How is a humeral shaft fracture treated?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Most humeral shaft fractures are treated conservatively with great success. You will typically be fitted with an adjustable humeral brace (often called a Sarmiento brace). Fracture healing might take 8-12 weeks, but your doctor will encourage you to mobilize early to regain your range of motion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Some fractures may benefit from surgery. This is the case when broken pieces stick out of the skin (open fracture), your nerve has fallen asleep (controversial), the fracture lines extend towards the joint, you have multiple injuries, and you need to use crutches in order to get out of bed. In such cases, you may be a candidate for open reduction and internal fixation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-001cafc4 alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><div class=\"uagb-container-inner-blocks-wrap\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-664dcc6e\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-dae158da wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Humeral-shaft-anterior1.jpg \" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 150px\" src=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Humeral-shaft-anterior1.jpg\" alt=\"\u039a\u03ac\u03c4\u03b1\u03b3\u03bc\u03b1 \u03b4\u03b9\u03ac\u03c6\u03c5\u03c3\u03b7\u03c2 \u03b2\u03c1\u03b1\u03c7\u03b9\u03bf\u03bd\u03af\u03bf\u03c5 \u03c0\u03c1\u03cc\u03c3\u03b8\u03b9\u03b1 \u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03c3\u03c0\u03ad\u03bb\u03b1\u03c3\u03b7 1\" class=\"uag-image-3161\" width=\"529\" height=\"679\" title=\"\" role=\"img\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-914a0bc6\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-833d1e11 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Humeral-shaft-anterior2.jpeg \" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 150px\" src=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Humeral-shaft-anterior2.jpeg\" alt=\"\u039a\u03ac\u03c4\u03b1\u03b3\u03bc\u03b1 \u03b4\u03b9\u03ac\u03c6\u03c5\u03c3\u03b7\u03c2 \u03b2\u03c1\u03b1\u03c7\u03b9\u03bf\u03bd\u03af\u03bf\u03c5 \u03c0\u03c1\u03cc\u03c3\u03b8\u03b9\u03b1 \u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03c3\u03c0\u03ad\u03bb\u03b1\u03c3\u03b7 2\" class=\"uag-image-3163\" width=\"467\" height=\"678\" title=\"\" role=\"img\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-491d6f9a\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-d820cf18 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Humeral-shaft-anterior3.jpg \" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 150px\" src=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Humeral-shaft-anterior3.jpg\" alt=\"\u039a\u03ac\u03c4\u03b1\u03b3\u03bc\u03b1 \u03b4\u03b9\u03ac\u03c6\u03c5\u03c3\u03b7\u03c2 \u03b2\u03c1\u03b1\u03c7\u03b9\u03bf\u03bd\u03af\u03bf\u03c5 \u03c0\u03c1\u03cc\u03c3\u03b8\u03b9\u03b1 \u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03c3\u03c0\u03ad\u03bb\u03b1\u03c3\u03b7 3\" class=\"uag-image-3164\" width=\"543\" height=\"636\" title=\"\" role=\"img\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-85373512\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-0682cf33 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Humeral-shaft-anterior4.jpeg \" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 150px\" src=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Humeral-shaft-anterior4.jpeg\" alt=\"\u039a\u03ac\u03c4\u03b1\u03b3\u03bc\u03b1 \u03b4\u03b9\u03ac\u03c6\u03c5\u03c3\u03b7\u03c2 \u03b2\u03c1\u03b1\u03c7\u03b9\u03bf\u03bd\u03af\u03bf\u03c5 \u03c0\u03c1\u03cc\u03c3\u03b8\u03b9\u03b1 \u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03c3\u03c0\u03ad\u03bb\u03b1\u03c3\u03b7 4\" class=\"uag-image-3165\" width=\"497\" height=\"652\" title=\"\" role=\"img\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Your surgeon will make an incision in the front or the back of your arm depending on the exact location of your fracture, put the broken pieces together and fix them with plates and screws.

You will typically be fitted with an adjustable humeral brace (often called a Sarmiento brace). Fracture healing might take 8-12 weeks, but your doctor will encourage you to mobilize early to regain your range of motion.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1697892399402\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question\">When do I need surgery?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer\">\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Some fractures may benefit from surgery. This is the case when broken pieces stick out of the skin (open fracture), your nerve has fallen asleep (controversial), the fracture lines extend towards the joint, you have multiple injuries, and you need to use crutches in order to get out of bed. In such cases, you may be a candidate for open reduction and internal fixation.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-f0c78fbe default
