[|AI|]  Hi, I have studied your case with diligence may need X-ray of humerus to see union at fracture site. Continue physiotherapy to increase range of motion of shoulder. You should start physiotherapy and exercises by your physiotherapist as 12 weeks is good time to achieve complete movement. You may need strengthening exercises under guidance ray will show that whether nail is impinging on shoulder restricting motion at shoulder. You may need high protein and calcium diet for early recovery. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
