Treatment of complex humeral nonunion 
Fractures of the humerus account for 5%–8% of all fractures. Nonunion is found with an incidence of up to 15%, depending on the location of the fracture. In case of a manifest nonunion the surgeon faces a challenging problem and has to conceive a therapy based on the underlying pathology. Often, a combination of standard nonunion techniques with new plate designs and fixation methods allow even the most challenging humeral nonunion to be treated successfully.
