A proximal humerus fracture is a bone fracture that occurs in the upper part of the humerus bone near the shoulder joint. They can be caused by a sudden traumatic injury or weakened bones due to osteoporosis. Symptoms include pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty moving the affected arm. Treatment options may consist of immobilization, physical therapy, or surgery, depending on the severity of the fracture.
