Cases of mid-shaft humerus fracture are often managed conservatively. However, poor fracture healing is not uncommon and often require surgical intervention with equivocal prognosis and may result in complications such as radial nerve injury and nonunion.

This case report illustrates the potential role of traditional Chinese medicine in humerus fracture management.
