Abstract

Seidel locked nailing has been successfully used to treat a humeral shaft fracture or nonunion. However, if union fails despite this treatment, the next approach to try has not been well defined. We, therefore, developed a technique using a staple to enforce the local stability without removing the failed nail. The technique was very simple, and the outcome was always satisfactory.
