The EMS brought a 39-year man as his right upper extremity was stuck in a machine in a factory where he works. He came with deformity and severe pain in his right arm. Pain management was given. He received tetanus toxoid as well. X-ray shows oblique humeral shaft fracture with shortening and angulation. He underwent procedural sedation to reduce it.
