What Type Of Break Is Spiral Fracture Of Right Humera Which Needed 10 Screws And Metal Plate To Be Put In Arm?
hi i am a healthy 31 year old young woman who recently got a spiral fracture of the right humera becuase my ex= boss grabbed my arm twisted and pulled it! I am taking him to court and he is trying to say that i fell and that is how i got my broken arm. I want to know the type of break it was and the fact that it was a spiral fracture and i needed to get 10 screws and a metal plate put in my arm, is it likely that his story will hold up in court?

Hi there .
Firstly let me bring to your knowledge that if you got a fracture by just manhandling of the arm then your bones are quite weak and you need to strengthen them as soon as you recover from the surgery .
Start by taking a good vitamin D3 and calcium supplement .
This is a traumatic spiral fracture of the humerus . Plating is the best surgery for this which in your case has already been done.
Yes of course your statement will hold good in court as the nature of injury sounds convincing .
I hope my advice has helped
Good luck
