A torus fracture of the upper end of the unspecified humerus is a common injury where the bone cracks but remains intact. This type of fracture is typically seen in children, as their bones are more flexible than adults. However, it can also occur in adults due to traumatic events or accidents.
When the fracture of the upper end of the humerus does not heal properly or remains unhealed, it is referred to as a nonunion. Nonunion can be caused by various factors, including inadequate blood supply, poor immobilization, infection, or a combination of these factors.
One of the key symptoms of a nonunion is persistent pain at the fracture site. Patients may also experience limited range of motion, swelling, and tenderness. It is important to seek medical attention if these symptoms persist or worsen.
If you suspect a torus fracture of the upper end of the humerus has resulted in nonunion, consult with a healthcare professional who can provide an accurate diagnosis and guide you through appropriate treatment options.
