Abstract

A 10-year-old girl presented with a left midshaft humerus fracture after falling off a bed onto her left arm. A coaptation splint was placed in the emergency room. The patient was transitioned to a fracture brace with abduction pillow 1 week after injury. She was followed weekly with radiographs in the brace until abundant healing callus and consolidation were present.
