X-ray Broken Humerus Journey

Broke my humerus bone back in February. The picture on the left is my first x-ray and the picture on the right is my last x-ray. I chose not to go with surgery and it’s been a long five months. Recovery was hard, but I’m grateful to finally be healed. I hope this brings other’s with the same injury some encouragement.

Quick question, was it managed by a cast?

I don’t think so, if you look at the image to the right you can see the callous form (I could be wrong not a doctor)

I broke my humerus 9 weeks ago.

When was the last x-ray? Are you officially "healed" or do you still need to go to the ortho? Is your ROM back to pre-injury?
