A 5-month-old bone settler treated distal one-third humeral shaft fracture (nonunion) was treated with open reduction and internal fixation using a Dynamic Compression Plate (DCP). Careful surgical planning, meticulous soft tissue handling, protection of the radial nerve, and stable compression fixation are essential for achieving successful union in such cases.
As orthopaedic surgeons, our goal is not only to unite the bone but also to restore function, relieve pain, and help patients return to their normal lives.
Every difficult case is an opportunity to improve a patient's quality of life.
