Understanding Upper Limb Fractures
The upper limb includes several bones — the clavicle (collarbone), scapula (shoulder blade), humerus (arm bone), radius and ulna (forearm bones), and the bones of the hand and wrist.
A fracture in any of these areas may result in pain, swelling, deformity, or restricted movement. Patients seeking upper limb fracture treatment in Ahmedabad trust timely diagnosis and proper management to avoid long-term complications.
Types of Upper Limb Fractures:
- Clavicle Fracture (Collarbone fracture): Often caused by falls or sports injuries.
- Proximal Humerus Fracture: Affects the shoulder region; common in older adults.
- Elbow Fracture: May include radial head or olecranon fractures.
- Forearm Fracture (Radius & Ulna): Typically from high-impact trauma or falls.
- Wrist and Hand Fractures: Often occur from direct impact or falls on an outstretched hand.
