X-rays of a 23-year-old female who sustained a midshaft fracture of her left humerus in a fall. (A) X-ray at the time of injury. (B) X-ray after months of nonoperative treatment using an arm brace, showing nonunion of the fracture site. (C) Postoperative X-ray after open reduction and internal fixation using plates and screws with supplementary iliac crest bone grafting. This is the current standard of care for this fracture in cases of nonunion.
