A 4.5-mm plate is slid on the anterior surface of the humerus, submuscular to the brachial muscle. With the plate over the anterior surface of the humerus, screws are inserted from anterior to posterior on the ends of the plate. When there is a small bone gap, an iliac autologous graft is inserted.
The present technique avoids wide dissection, radial nerve isolation, and periosteum stripping.
The anterior minimally invasive bridge-plate technique for treatment of humeral shaft nonunion is a safe procedure.
