Initial protection and external stabilization for reduced or minimally displaced fractures may be provided by a nonarticular humeral splint or a humeral “fracture brace” (Fig. 17-27); a posterior elbow flexion immobilization splint, type 2 (3) that maintains the elbow at 90°, forearm in ...
There was no difference between groups for healing time and final alignment of the fracture. However, there was a greater range of elbow motion at the time of union in the fracture brace group (11 degrees-126 degrees) compared with the U-slab group (50 degrees-119 degrees P less than ...

nonoperative treatment consists of a Sarmiento brace. An advantage of using this brace is that the joints above and below the fracture are mobile, minimizing joint stiffness. Another advantage is removability of the brace, allowing for better axillary hygiene. Fracture alignment is maintained by th...

humeius.Treatment of gunshot humerus fractures is dependent on the degree of fracture comminution and soft tissue injury For nonmilitary wounds caused by handgun bullets, in which there is relatively little soft tissue and bone disruption, use of a Sarmiento brace may be the best method of care...
If the fracture is treated with surgery, a brace is fitted as per requirement. This is done at the discretion of the surgeon. Physical therapy is often prescribed to help improve motion and strength after surgery. The patient may still have considerable painin the arm, but this typically decl...
