So I have this guy who had, five years ago, a compund fracture of the upper humerous, where the bone has come through the skin. Given that medical care in his place / time is quite primative ( no plates or pins to hold it all together), how much use would he have from that arm?
I'm assuming he would have some nerve damage, but how extensive? Could he grip with his hands? Raise his arm? Lift stuff ( like a sword?) I realise it depends on where the nerve damage occured and how extensive, but could anyone give me some pointers?
