It was treated conservatively with U-gypsum splint and later humerus and plaster Velpeaux for 2 months. After 1 year the patient comes because he has slight pain and increased volume in the antero-external region of right humerus without color change. Physical Examination: Slight pain to palpation, increased volume and limitation to the movements of abduction and flexo extension of the right arm.
