    AbstractA series of 25 cases of pseudarthrosis of the humeral shaft is presented. These cases were treated by three different methods. The reasons for non-union, the effectiveness of various methods of treatment and the complications are discussed. The best results are achieved in cases treated by compression plates and iliac bone grafts. Excision of the pseudarthrotic fibrous tissue with freshening of the bone end was done in all cases.
