Minor Displacement Due To Breakage Of Humerus Bone. Will It Align On Its Own?
yes thank you, my wife broke her Humerus bone just below the shoulder. The top of the bone or the ball is not broken. But the bone was out of place by at least 3/4 of an inch. The emergency room rated it as a minor displacement. They put a sling on her arm. Will it somehow come into line on its own?

Hi
Thanks for writing
After going through your query, do not worry about minor displacement as our body has tremendous capacity to remodel. If x ray taken after 12 -18 months after the fracture you will not be able to find the fracture line because of remodelling.
Hope this information suffices.
Take care
