As it not clearly visible due to no light in background.
But as per my knowledge it appears to be GT ( greater tubercle) fracture of ptoximal humerus bone.
94% it heals by its own only if proper care has been taken
-Like shoulder immobilizer belt
-No shoulder movement till further orders.
- after fracture healing physiotherapy to get shoulder movement back .
Primary Healing time without surgery if all bone is in very close contact then 6-8 weeks .
If after 6-8 weeks no healing or no sign of healing on xrays then surgery . ( Only in 6% cases).
