Can Bone Fragments Move Even With Two Wires To Link Them?
Hi. I had a misplaced fracture of proximal humerus on 17th January. Got operated on 20th Jabuary with two wires and now I will have to wear a cuff for 40 days.
I'm frightened by the idea that the bone's fragments could move even with the two wires to link them... Is that possible?

Hi
You must follow your surgeons instructions.if cuff is worn continuously resting arm in a broad arm sling will not displace fragments if all precautions are followed.
