+{{Infobox medical condition
 A '''[[Humerus Fracture]]''' is a break in the large bone of the upper arm, the [[humerus]]. This type of fracture can occur in any part of the humerus, including the ends near the shoulder and the elbow.
 ==Types of Humerus Fractures==
 There are three main types of humerus fractures based on the location of the fracture:
 * '''[[Proximal Humerus Fractures]]''': These fractures occur at the top of the humerus, near the shoulder. They are most common in older people with [[osteoporosis]].
 * '''[[Midshaft Humerus Fractures]]''': These fractures occur in the middle of the humerus. They can happen to anyone, but are often the result of a direct blow or fall.
 * '''[[Distal Humerus Fractures]]''': These fractures occur at the end of the humerus, near the elbow. They are relatively rare and usually the result of a direct blow or fall.
 ==Causes==
 Humerus fractures are typically caused by a direct blow to the arm, a fall onto an outstretched arm, or a violent twisting of the arm. Certain medical conditions, such as [[osteoporosis]] or [[bone cancer]], can weaken the humerus and make it more susceptible to fracture.
 ==Symptoms==
 The most common symptoms of a humerus fracture include severe pain, swelling, bruising, and inability to move the arm. In some cases, there may be a visible deformity or the bone may even protrude through the skin.
 ==Treatment==
 Treatment for a humerus fracture depends on the location and severity of the fracture. Non-surgical treatments include immobilization with a cast or splint, pain medication, and physical therapy. Surgical treatments may be necessary for more severe fractures and can include [[internal fixation]], where hardware is used to hold the bone in place, or [[joint replacement]].

'''Humerus Fracture'''

A '''[[Humerus Fracture]]''' is a break in the large bone of the upper arm, the [[humerus]]. This type of fracture can occur in any part of the humerus, including the ends near the shoulder and the elbow.

==Types of Humerus Fractures==

There are three main types of humerus fractures based on the location of the fracture:

* '''[[Proximal Humerus Fractures]]''': These fractures occur at the top of the humerus, near the shoulder. They are most common in older people with [[osteoporosis]].

* '''[[Midshaft Humerus Fractures]]''': These fractures occur in the middle of the humerus. They can happen to anyone, but are often the result of a direct blow or fall.

* '''[[Distal Humerus Fractures]]''': These fractures occur at the end of the humerus, near the elbow. They are relatively rare and usually the result of a direct blow or fall.

==Causes==

Humerus fractures are typically caused by a direct blow to the arm, a fall onto an outstretched arm, or a violent twisting of the arm. Certain medical conditions, such as [[osteoporosis]] or [[bone cancer]], can weaken the humerus and make it more susceptible to fracture.

==Symptoms==

The most common symptoms of a humerus fracture include severe pain, swelling, bruising, and inability to move the arm. In some cases, there may be a visible deformity or the bone may even protrude through the skin.

==Treatment==

Treatment for a humerus fracture depends on the location and severity of the fracture. Non-surgical treatments include immobilization with a cast or splint, pain medication, and physical therapy. Surgical treatments may be necessary for more severe fractures and can include [[internal fixation]], where hardware is used to hold the bone in place, or [[joint replacement]].
