We are presenting a case of proximal humerus& shaft fracture in a 50 year old female. She sustained injury on her left upper limb in a road traffic accident. It was managed with closed reduction & external fixation by Joshi External Stabilisation System (JESS). Lacerated wound over her left shoulder & arm region was managed with skin grafting. The post-operative period was uneventful. Journal of Universal College of Medical Sciences (2017) Vol.05 No.01 Issue 15, Page: 54-58
