Abstract

This 20 year old female developed humeral growth arrest secondary to neonatal osteomyelitis of the proximal humerus. Her main complaint was a limitation to perform her basic daily activities that required reaching with her affected arm. She underwent a 7 cm humeral lengthening using a monolateral external fixator. There were no significant complications in this case. A successful final outcome was achieved.
