Double plating for long-standing nonunion of the humeral shaft complicated with metaphyseal bone defect and deformity: A case report

Several treatment methods for nonunion of humeral fracture have been reported with satisfactory results. However, treatment of a long-standing nonunion of the humerus is more challenging, as it may be complicated by broken implants and bone defects. Little is known about treatment strategies for lon...

description Several treatment methods for nonunion of humeral fracture have been reported with satisfactory results. However, treatment of a long-standing nonunion of the humerus is more challenging, as it may be complicated by broken implants and bone defects. Little is known about treatment strategies for long-standing humeral nonunion with bone defects, especially in the metaphyseal area. We report a case of long-standing humeral shaft nonunion complicated by a bone defect and deformity, treated with double locking plates and an iliac bone autograft.
