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.

The bone fragments from the lower end of your humerus were surgically joined and stabilized using a special fixation system. The special fixation system involves inserting metal pins or screws through the skin from outside and into the humerus. These are then joined to one another outside the body using a holding system.
