Introduction: A fracture bone usually heals by the formation of new bone at the fracture site. Occasionally, only fibrous tissue is formed, when this happens both surgeon & patient are disappointed. The bone is a specialized form of connective tissue may account for its ability to heal by the formation of new bone. The humerus is a long bone connecting two important joints of upper limb- which has wide range of movement having very little bony stability in shoulder joint and distal elbow joint which is a uni axial hinge joint. Objective: To find out the Functional Outcome Of The Results Of Locking Compression Plate For The Treatment Of Non-United Humeral Shaft Fracture Augmented With Autogenouscancellous Bone Graft. Materials & Methods: This prospective study of "treatment of nonunion of humeral shaft fracture by locking plate and screws augmented with autogenouscancellous bone grafting" was carried out during the period of 1st December 2014 to 31th May 2016 at Pabna Medical College, Pabna, Bangladesh. Sample size will be calculated by using following statistics = 384. Purposive sampling (non-randomized) according to availability of the patients and strictly considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data will be collected with a pre-tested structured questionnaire containing history, clinical examination, laboratory investigations, pre-operative, per-operative, postoperative follow up findings and complications. Observations and Results: This prospective study of treatment of nonunion of humeral shaft fracture by locking plate and screws augmented with autogenouscancellous bone grafting was carried out in 16 patients to find out the common cause of fracture, age and sex incidence and to propose a protocol for treating such cases. Sixteen patients were included in the study group and they were divided into 4-groups. The mean age was 38.19 with a standard deviation mean (±SD) 0.04 years. The age ranged from 28 to 60 years and the maximum number was ...........
