Broken arm

Broken arm may involve the ulna, radius and humerus bones. Arm fracture treatment depends on the exact location and injury severity. If there is no shift or shift is small, use plaster fixation for 10 days and then use supporting frames until bone healing. If the angle is greater 10 degrees or position shift is large than 50% of the bone diameter, it is called unstable fractures. In this case, the arm should be cut open and internal fixation is conducted.
