I would get a second opinion. In 2008, I shattered my left humerus skiing. The local orthopedics at LRGH, wanted to repair immediately with a rod and wires technique. My ski buddy, who is a veterinarian, said they don't do rod and wires anymore and insist I get second opinion. The local doctor was p.o.
I visit Dr. Wang at NH Orthopedics in Manchester. Dr Wang practiced in Mass. as well as NH. He is voted one of the Top Doctors by NH Magazine. He sees 10 fractures in the x-rays as opposed to 5 by the original doctor. He also suggest possibly a plate and screws setup, but wants to open the arm and make sure that is what it really needs.

Four and half hours surgery, 13 titanium screws and titanium plate and I am back to normal. I highly recommend you go elsewhere.
