Augmentative Locking Compression Plate Fixation for the Management of Subtrochanteric Non-Union after Intramedullary Nail Failure
Journal Title: Journal of Orthopedics & Bone Disorders - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 1
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. The surgical technique is described in this small clinical series, one case with an unexpected infection.
