Abstract

The bone of the upper arm (humerus) is the third largest and strongest bone in the human body which is located between the shoulder joint and the elbow joint.The aim of this thesis is to present a multifragmental fracture of the humerus of a 69 year old woman with no neurovascular lesions, with nounion which was treated with an osteosynthesis-adapted plate and individually placed screws. With appropriate physical therapy, the patient has fully recovered and has successfully returned to her everyday activities. Material and methods After the surgical procedure, the 69 year old patient received treatment at the department for physical therapy within GOB 8-mi Septemvri in Skopje. As part of the physical therapy, she received electrotherapy with an IF current and magnetic therapy, kinesiotherapy with active and active assisted exercise, including hydrotherapy with active pool exercises. The success is measured in milimeteres, which often makes this procedure extremely hard for the patient and the therapist. Results The success of the physical treatment of the patient was shown month by month, namely in the first, second and third month of the treatment. Conclusion The Humerus bone must be strong enough to bear the load during lifting, pushing or pulling of objects. The bone of the upper arm is very important, because without this bone we would not be able to control or to use the other parts of the arm.
