Abstract:
A 29-year-old lady accidentally fell from the first floor at home, sustained multiple fractures all on the left side which were the proximal humerus fracture, inter-condylar distal humerus fracture, intra-articular distal end radius fracture, and acetabulum fracture. She was actively managed following Advance Trauma life Support (ATLS) protocol and once stabilised was operated in a stage-wise manner for all the fractures. This case report is about the unusual presentation of multiple fractures involving all the three ipsilateral major joints of the upper limb in an adult following a fall from a height and highlights the uniqueness of the fracture's presentation and effective surgical management for better outcomes and rehabilitation.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
