Core Tip	We present an innovative treatment alternative for segmental bone defects after pathological fracture, tumor resection and radiation of the humerus. A combination of Induced membrane, vascularized fibula graft and double plate fixation was used to bridge a segmental bone defect. Devascularized bone stock was left in situ as a scaffold and not resected as usual. The treatment approach led to a successful clinical outcome and can be considered in similar complex cases.
