MANAGEMENT OF PSEUDOARTHROSIS OF SHAFT HUMERUS BY PLATING (FIVE YEARS FOLLOW UP) ??? A CASE STUDY

Abstract

Shirish Virupanna Tumbal1

Pseudoarthrosis is a condition where union at fracture site is very difficult to obtain. But sticking to the very basic principles of management of non-union – that is freshening at fracture site, removal of sclerotic bone, reaming of medullary canal, rigid fixation and abundant bone grafting-helps in achieving the goal. In the below case, all the steps were carried out and the fracture has healed two months postoperatively.
