Hello,
Welcome to Health Care Magic,
If the fracture has not lead to any displacement,non operative treatment with a sling will be useful alongwith exercises.When fracture displacement occurs surgical intervention is needed.You need a x-ray to be done to know the kind and degree of fraction.A doctor is immediately needed.

Hi,
Depending on whether the fracture is open (bone fragments exposed) or not the treatment would be planned. In minor undisplaced fractures a plaster cast is put and arm immobilized. If there is severe displacement an oopen reduction of the fragments would be planned. The cast is put usually for 8 weeks. analgesics can be taken for the pain.
Hope that answers the question
Take care
