Abstract

Subtrochanteric and inter trochanteric femoral non-unions in the case, situation of failed metalwork poses a challenging clinical problem. A small series of inter trochanteric with subtrochanteric extension non-unions presenting intramedullary nail failure, solved by removal of the broken nail, new intramedullary nailing, Judet decortications, autologous bone grafting and LCP augmentation plate, is reported.
