Proximal Humerus Fracture Weeks 8-9 | Broomstick Shoulder Mobilization & Strengthening | Phase VII

Phase VII Welcome to phase VII of your shoulder rehabilitation. You are approximately 6 to 9 weeks post shoulder fracture and, hopefully, you have been following this physical therapy series since the beginning. This video is focuses on passive range of motion exercises. 6 weeks post shoulder fracture is a key marker as your bones are expected to be fully healed now unless you have a fracture non-union and, if that is the case, you are not yet ready for this and I recommend some ESWT therapy to help the bone fragments fuse together. Assuming the humerus bone is now healed, these passive range of motion (PROM) exercises are helping to keep the shoulder flexible as it is ease to get frozen shoulder or shoulder impingement from misplaced and inflexible scar tissue or adhesions forming in the glenohumeral. acromioclavicular (A/C) joints and in the surrounding tissues of the suprapinatus tendon, biceps tendon and even the chondrosternal joints. A non displaced proximal humerus fracture is a break in the bone near your shoulder joint or fracture of the upper arm where the pieces of bone at the fracture site are separated, but not out of position. A displaced fracture is when the pieces of bone at the fracture site are separated and shifted out of position. This type of fracture typically requires surgery. A break more towards the elbow would be a humerus shaft fracture. Most likely, you had a fall on your hand and the force went up to the head of your humerus and it broke. If there is no separation of the bones, and only a break, then surgery is usually not indicated and this is where this shoulder rehabilitation series will be great for you. Welcome to your virtual physical therapy for your shoulder complex. These shoulder rehab videos are not an excuse to avoid your physical therapist, medical doctor or chiropractor.
