History: 53 year-old female came to my office 5 weeks after an injury to her right arm below the cement from a prior shoulder replacement.  She was initially treated by a different surgeon but referred to me after she failed to show any healing and was having a lot of pain after nearly a month and a half.  

Diagnosis: Right humerus shaft fracture in setting of shoulder arthroplasty and cement

Treatment: Right humerus non-union open reduction internal fixation

Outcome: Within 3 weeks she had near full motion and by 2 months she was fully healed and using her arm normally.  No pain and no limitation to function.  She was very appreciative and quite happy. 

History: 29 year old female sustained multiple injuries after a car accident, including a right comminuted humerus fracture.  She was admitted to the hospital for treatment. 

Diagnosis: Right comminuted humeral shaft fracture

Treatment: Humerus open reduction and internal fixation with plates and screws

Outcome: Within 3 weeks she had near full motion and no pain.  The scar was fully healed and nearly invisible. She was very happy with the results. 

History: 23 year-old male who injured his shoulder and collar bone while trying to jump over a fence.  He had sustained a comminuted, displaced clavicle fracture.

Diagnosis: Left clavicle fracture

Treatment: Left clavicle open reduction internal fixation

Outcome: Within 1 week he had already regained nearly all motion without any pain. The photos below demonstrate his first post-operative visit. By 3 months after surgery he had returned to full activities and sports.
