A case is reported four years after successful total replacement of the left humerus for chronic osteomyelitis of six years' duration, with an axillary sinus that had persisted despite repeated operations and more distally a pathological fracture that had failed to united after bone grafting. The disability was such that the patient had requested amputation, but he returned to his previous work as a driver six months after the total replacement and there has been no recurrence of infection.
