Comminuted fractures are a type of broken bone. The term comminuted fracture refers to a bone that is broken in at least two places. Comminuted fractures are caused by severe traumas like car accidents. You will need surgery to repair your bone, and recovery can take a year or longer.
Displaced and non-displaced fractures refer to the alignment of the fractured bone. In a displaced fracture, the bone snaps into two or more parts and moves so that the two ends are not lined up straight. If the bone is in many pieces, it is called a comminuted fracture.
The top of the humerus forms part of the shoulder joint with its connection to the scapula (shoulder blade), and the bottom of the humerus forms part of the elbow with the forearm. The middle of the humerus is called the humeral shaft and fracture of this part of the bone is called a humeral shaft fracture.
The humerus is the bone in your upper arm that's located between your elbow and your shoulder.
