Abstract:
[Objective]To explore a new therapy for postoperative non-union distal humeral frature.[Method]From January 2000 to January 2005,27 cases of non-union after internal fixation operations of distal humeral fractures were treated with retrograde intramedullary nailing combined with bone graft.[Result]All cases were followed up form 6 months to 32 months,with an average of 16 months.All the non-union were healed and joint function resumed to normal.No infection,no nail and locking bolts broken and no humeral distal fracture were found.[Conclusion]Retrograde intramedullary nailing combined with bone graft is an effective therapy for postoperative non-union of distal humeral fracture.
