  • Title: Fracture brace for the treatment of humerus shaft fractures caused by gunshot wounds.
    Author: Balfour GW, Marrero CE.
    Journal: Orthop Clin North Am; 1995 Jan; 26(1):55-63. PubMed ID: 7838503.
    Abstract:
    Humeral shaft fractures are amenable to conservative treatment. In this article, the authors define their indications and methods of treatment of gunshot-caused fractures of the humerus. They emphasize use of a humeral fracture brace. Successful fracture brace treatment requires attention to and comprehension of proper technique. When used appropriately, fracture bracing is safer, less expensive, and more effective than surgical alternatives.
