RESUMO
Humeral shaft fractures are amenable to conservative treatment. In this article, the authors define their indications and methods of treatment of gunshot-caused fractures of the humerus. They emphasize use of a humeral fracture brace. Successful fracture brace treatment requires attention to and comprehension of proper technique. When used appropriately, fracture bracing is safer, less expensive, and more effective than surgical alternatives.
