This is from the patient's surgical history. He underwent TAVI for severe aortic stenosis:

Fracture humerus droit --> abdu. forcée à 80° environ 2009

Please note, this is handwritten.

Thanks so much! Does 'forced abduction' cut it? Sounds a little brutal?!

I get a lot of ghits for forced abduction as a cause of humeral fracture, but not so much as a way of diagnosing or reducing them. Would the idea that the forced abduction was the cause of the break make sense in your context? If so, I guess it would be somewhat brutal.
