Pediatric and adolescent t-type distal humerus fractures. Radial nerve palsy in humeral shaft fractures with internal fixation: analysis of management and outcome. Schwab TR, Stillhard PF, Schibli S, Furrer M, Sommer C. How age and gender influence proximal humerus fracture management in patients older than fifty years. Loss of normal range of motion and weakness can also occur if there is muscle or connective tissue damage. Elbow problems are common after a distal humerus fracture. Shoulder or elbow stiffness or weakness: Problems with the shoulder joint are common after a proximal humerus fracture.Injuring the radial nerve can make wrist and finger movement difficult and cause numbness in that area. The nerve may recover within a few months. It also helps with wrist and finger movement. Nerve injury: The radial nerve provides feeling to the back of the hand.Surgery may be needed to correct the position of the bone.
Malunion: A malunion occurs when the bone heals, but not in the proper position. Malunions can occur if the bone was not kept still for long enough, if bones weren't properly aligned, or if medical treatment was delayed.There are many reasonsthis may happen. One of the most common causes of nonunion is smoking tobacco. Nonunion: A nonunion occurs when the broken bone does not heal.
