Abstract:
The authors report 7 cases of septic and aseptic pseudoarthrosis in the humerus, with or without tissue loss, treated with the Ilizarov apparatus. The method proved to be therapeutically effective, guaranteeing a short amount of time required for consolidation, with bone callus of the periosteal type which was abundant and mechanically effective, immediate functional recovery, and no important complications.
