    🦴 HUMERUS FRACTURES 

    👋 Dear Student, Welcome to This Course



    This course provides a comprehensive, evidence-based exploration of humeral fractures, covering the anatomy, biomechanics, mechanisms of injury, classification systems, radiologic assessment, and principles of both operative and non-operative management. It integrates clinical decision-making, complication management, and rehabilitation protocols, with emphasis on trauma care in adults and the elderly.


    📚 Learning Objectives

    By completing this course, you will be able to:

    1. Describe the functional anatomy and biomechanics of the humerus.

    2. Recognize mechanisms of injury for each fracture region.

    3. Apply classification systems such as Neer, AO/OTA, and Gustilo-Anderson.

    4. Interpret radiographs and advanced imaging of humeral fractures.

    5. Plan non-operative and surgical management strategies.

    6. Identify and manage common complications including nerve palsy and nonunion.

    7. Design rehabilitation programs to restore optimal function.
