    The document discusses treatment options for fractures of the humerus. Non-operative treatments include hanging casts, coaptation splints, Valpeau dressings, shoulder spica casts, and functional bracing for undisplaced closed simple fractures and some spiral or short oblique fractures. Operative treatment is indicated for associated vascular injuries, higher grade open wounds, failure to maintain closed reduction, segmental or pathologic fractures, or intra-articular extension and is also recommended for patients with multiple injuries, head injuries with a GCS of 8 or lower, or chest trauma.
