Fixed upper arm fracture. X-ray of a section through the left arm of a 55-year-old patient with a fracture of the humerus (upper arm bone) that has been fixed with a metal pin and screws (white). This is a spiral fracture of the humeral shaft (diaphysis), caused when a twisting force (torque or torsion) is applied to the bone. This usually occurs when a limb gets stuck while the rest of the body rotates around it. | |
