Nonunion of comminuted distal humeral fracture is troublesome problem to orthopedic surgeon. We report a case of 59 years old woman, who suffered nonunion of comminuted distal humeral fracture previously treated by open reduction and internal fixation with plate and screws concomitantly autoiliac bone graft.
