    Abstract:
    The article analyses experience in the treatment of 125 patients with ununited fractures and pseudarthrosis of the humeral diaphysis by osteosynthesis with massive compressing metal plates. The possibility of creating the necessary reserve of mechanical stability at the expense of the massive plates and strained fixation allows immobilization in a plaster cast to be avoided in most cases and early motor rehabilitation of the patients to be undertaken. The results were positive in 96.8% of cases, which makes it possible to consider the method to be sufficiently effective in the management of fractures of the humeral diaphysis and their sequelae.
