Abstract

Atrophic nonunion of the distal humerus in children with osteogenesis imperfecta is a vexing and disabling problem. Traditional treatments, including casting, intramedullary nailing, plating and bone grafting have not been universally successful. We report on a case of successful treatment of one atrophic nonunion of the distal humerus in ad 2 year 10 month old child with type III OI who had failed more traditional treatments. The treatment used a combination of telescoping intramedullary nails, locking plate fixation and bone morphogenic protein.Level of Evidence: Level IV.
