This is a 67-year-old male patient who sustained a spiral wedge humerus fracture in a simple fall in a rural town in our catchment approx 2.5 hours dr... ive away. His presentation was somewhat delayed by various factors and he eventually presented to our service at approx 4 weeks post-injury. He had been treated in a U-slab by local doctors and still had significant pain and fracture site mobility with no evidence of fracture callus formation on xray and CT.
