“…Nonunion was aseptic in 71.43%, including 38.10% hypertrophic nonunion and 33.33% atrophic nonunion. Obert et al [17] in France 2015 listed 13 cases (81.25%) of atrophic nonunion, two cases (12.5%) of hypertrophic nonunion and one case (6.26%) of eutrophic nonunion. The aim of the treatment of pseudarthrosis must meet two imperatives: obtain consolidation of the heart, and restore the function of the upper limb while avoiding stiffness of the elbow and shoulder joints.…”

“…There are different surgical techniques used to treat humeral nonunion. [1,8,13,[17][18][19][20] These surgical techniques have been proposed to ensure the functional performance of upper extremity movements and bone union. Many authors have suggested the plate fixation method as the gold-standard treatment owing to its compression properties and maximum rotational stability.…”

“…A limited report from Tunisia of 58 humeral pseudarthroses showed that effective union was achieved with a no-touch compression technique via monolateral external fixation 52 . Zhao et al reported on 9 cases of a suspension-bridge circular fixator construct for proximal humeral nonunions with skin defects, involving a single diaphyseal ring and multiple oblique olive wires for the fixation of 2, 3, or 4-part fractures 53 .…”
