Humeral shaft fractures are relatively common, representing approximately 1% to 5% of all fractures. Conservative management is the treatment of choice for most humeral shaft fractures and offers functional results and union rates that are not inferior to surgical management.

Staged Management of Delayed-Onset Upper Arm Compartment Syndrome Following Humeral Shaft Fracture: A Case Report. [PDF]
Background Acute compartment syndrome (ACS) is a limb‐threatening condition associated with high morbidity and a substantial risk of long‐term functional impairment. ACS most commonly develops shortly after fractures and typically affects the legs and forearms.
