Surgical management of long bone defects remains a considerable challenge for orthopedic surgeons, particularly in septic conditions. We present the case of an 8-year-old girl with a history of chronic osteomyelitis in the left humerus, referred to us following a pathologic fracture, initially managed with humeral osteosynthesis and grafting. Subsequently, the induced membrane technique was employed for pseudarthrosis after a recurrent fracture. Following consolidation, significant humeral shortening was observed, necessitating surgical lengthening using an external fixator, resulting in a satisfactory final outcome.
