Brief Summary

Pseudarthrosis of the humerus is a serious complication of humerus fractures, of particular interest to subjects young working people with pseudoarthrogenic risk factors (tobacco++). It represents a real problem therapeutic given the long period of treatment, its disabling socio-professional repercussions and the cost which resulting. The aim of our work is to evaluate the anatomical and functional results of different surgical techniques. used.
