A Dr. Jeanne Morrison, PhD , Family Medicine, answered. You can manage a closed fracture on a daily basis by elevation of the extremity, ice in the early stage (be careful not to burn the skin - keep a layer of padding between the ice bag and the skin), and rest. Good nutrition and adequate hydration is also important.
Proximal humeral fracture dislocations (A1.3, B3, and C3) require prompt reduction of the glenohumeral joint dislocation. Keep in mind that with fracture dislocations it may be necessary to convert to an open reduction procedure in order to reduce the joint. Therefore, arrange for operating room availability.
