It all depends on what area of humerus bone is fracture whether it is near the shoulder or near the elbow or in the middle
Also whether it is displaced or not
Now a days usually to avoid problems of stiffness and if the fracture is displaced it is better to operate so that you can be free of the plaster earlier and can get a better result
However if the fracture is not displaced then maybe only plaster for 4-6 weeks is good and then maybe a month of good physiotherapy and exercises
But to get a true opinion post your Xray photo
