Your humerus has been surgically straightened and aids were used to stabilize it.

There are different parts to the humerus. The top end is connected to the shoulder blade in the shoulder joint. In the middle of the humerus there is a long, straight section. The lower end is connected to the forearm in the elbow joint.

The humerus can be stabilized if it gets broken. A growth plate may also have become detached from the humerus. In children and adolescents the bone’s growth stems from the growth plates. There are growth plates in the long bones in the arms and legs, and the long bones in the hands and feet. There is a growth plate at each end of these bones.

The lower end of your humerus was affected. First of all, the fragments of your humerus were surgically put back in their normal place. The site concerned was then joined together and stabilized using a long pin inside the bone. The purpose of the long pin is to stabilize the humerus from within. To achieve this, a hole is first drilled into the inside of the bone. The pin is then inserted into the bone.
