This may be due to Non union of Fracture. It is a known complication with humerus fracture. The next surgical option in this condition is augmentation of fracture site with bone grafting. Another option is Nail removal with Freshening the fracture margins with plating.
Next Steps
It would be better to meet your surgeon and discuss the possible options.
