In general, patients with humeral fractures need at least six weeks before they can perform non-weight-bearing exercises. Weight-bearing exercises should not be performed until after three months. This refers only to general injuries that have been treated promptly and properly. Most patients with these fractures, if treated aggressively, may achieve clinical healing in about four weeks and return to most activities in about six weeks. However, at this time, the fracture is still not strong enough to allow weight bearing. At this point, it is best for the patient to gradually begin non-weight bearing exercises. In about three months, most patients will have reached the standard of bony healing and will be able to gradually perform weight-bearing exercises. During the recovery process, the patient must return to the orthopedic department for regular review, ask the doctor to clarify the degree of fracture healing, and do the relevant exercises under the doctor’s guidance to prevent adverse complications due to premature exercise.
