Dear Patient,
Your X-ray shows a displaced fracture of the shaft of the humerus (upper arm bone). As the fracture is significantly displaced and unstable, surgical management is recommended for proper alignment and early recovery.
Suggested Treatment:
• Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) with plate and screws
Why surgery is advised:
• Better fracture alignment
• Faster pain relief and mobilization
• Lower risk of malunion/non-union
• Early return of function
Urgency:
Please consult an orthopaedic surgeon at the earliest for clinical evaluation and surgical planning.
Meanwhile, keep the limb immobilized in a sling and avoid movement.
Early intervention gives the best outcome.
