Shoulder and arm fractures refer to the breakage of bones in the shoulder or upper arm. They can occur due to trauma, falls, or sports injuries. Symptoms include intense pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the affected limb. Treatment usually involves immobilization with a cast or sling, followed by physical therapy to regain strength and mobility. In some cases, surgery may be required to realign the bone and stabilize the fracture. Early medical attention is crucial for proper diagnosis and appropriate management of shoulder and arm fractures.
