Many humeral fractures will heal without requiring an operation. A humeral fracture brace can assist in the healing process of a humeral shaft fracture. These braces can be a partially or fully customised depending on the individual patient.
In some fractures of the collarbone, the treatment involves using a type of support called a clavicle strap. This retracts the shoulders so that the ends of the collarbone fracture heal together, rather than pushing past each other.
A sling may also be used in the treatment of clavicle fractures. Sometimes a swathe (material that goes around the upper arm and body) is used to prevent shoulder motion in conjunction with the sling.
