Humerus Fracture

Definition

A humerus fracture is a break in the upper arm bone, known as the humerus, which connects the shoulder to the elbow. This type of fracture can result from various causes, such as falls, direct blows, or high-impact accidents. Humerus fractures can be classified into proximal, midshaft, and distal fractures, depending on the location of the break.
