Data analysis was carried out through the data reduction stage, presenting data in the form of open coding, drawing and drawing conclusions. Research Results: Humerus Os radiographic examination technique in fracture cases at the Radiology Installation of North Sumatra University Hospital. On the X-Ray examination of the Humerus Os with a fracture case in the patient with the name Mr. X, visible fracture in the proximal 1/3 of the right humerus with postetolateral dislocation and contraction. Joint gap. Description: fracture of the proximal 1/3 of the right humerus with postelolateral dislocation and contraction. Conclusion: The technique for radiographic examination of the humerus in cases of the proximal 1/3 of the humerus in the Radiology Installation of the North Sumatra University Hospital is to use basic projections, namely Antero-Posterior (AP) and Lateral.]]>
