A deltoid muscle-pedicled bone graft was used to treat avascular necrosis of the humeral head. Eighteen months later there was evidence of clinical improvement of the joint function, and plain x-rays and tomography showed signs of graft fusion in the recipient bed with reorganization of the formerly necrotic bone matrix in the humeral head.
