Abstract
Infected nonunions are difficult problems to tackle. The treatment is often multistaged and involves high expenses and has major impact on both patient as well as surgeons. Understanding of the basics of infected non-union including etiopathology, diagnostic criteria and management algorithms is helpful in successfully managing this complication. This article provides a basic overview of infected nonunions along with new methods of management including Masquelet technique and techniques of managing bone gaps.
