How long does broken humerus bone take time to heal?
Patient: hi , metal bar fell on my upper arm, broke my humerus bone, I some scratches on my skin under arm, my doctor said there was a blow inside, so my veins, nerves, muscles, soft tissue was damaged. he claims my skin died as it is black right now, and I need skin graft. I believe skin can heal, what do you think? Doctor: Pitch black dark skin patch with no sensations is definitely a dead patch of skin.So it needs to go.the resultant raw area after taking out tge dead patch needs to be covered for sure.whethe a skin graft or something else your treating doctor would be able to advice depending upon  the bone and other soft tissues extent of exposure.
