Abstract
An easy pedicle vascular bone graft technique for the management of nonunion of humeral shaft fracture is described. The distal and lateral part of the humerus, including the lateral epicondyle, is transferred to the nonunion site of the humerus. This vascular bone graft is based on the accessory radial collateral artery. It promotes healing of the nonunion.
