Spiral fracture: This type of fracture is caused by a twisting force. The result is a spiral-shaped fracture line about the bone, like a staircase. Spiral fractures can be displaced or stable, depending on how much force causes the fracture.
Fractures of the humeral shaft are often either transverse fractures or spiral. Look for evidence of bone cysts or other pathologic fractures. Figure 1: Six year old boy with a transverse fracture of the shaft of the humerus.
