The aim of our work is to evaluate the anatomical and functional results of different surgical techniques. used.

Clinical Trial Description

The management of pseudarthrosis of the humerus remains a subject of controversy. Given our results, the investigators think that osteosynthesis by plate associated with bone grafting and/or decortication remains the most suitable for the treatment of aseptic pseudarthroses of the humeral shaft while treatment with Ilizarov is most appropriate in septic pseudarthrosis.

However, the best treatment for pseudarthrosis of the humerus remains that of treating the initial fracture. and better control of pseudoarthrogenic risk factors (tobacco++). ;
