Repositioning of fracture and luxation: Open repositioning of a simple fracture in the joint area of a long bone: Open repositioning of an epiphyseal separation without osteosynthesis: Distal humerus
Your humerus has been surgically straightened.
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.
A growth plate became detached from your 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 of your humerus were surgically put back into their usual position.
