Healing of nonunion of a fractured lateral condyle of the humerus by pulsing electromagnetic induction.
Nonoperative salvage of a surgically resistant case of established nonunion of a fracture of the lateral condyle of the humerus in a child is described.  Solid union was achieved by treatment with pulsed electromagnetic fields.  A review of the literature indicates that this is the first published report of such a case.
