Non union in an open Smith fracture: a case report
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF MEDICAL COLLEGE CHANDIGARH - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Open Smith fracture is an extremely rare injury. There are no laid down standard guidelines for the management of such an injury. Nonunion in an open Smith fracture, to the best of our knowledge, has not been reported in the literature. We report a case of a young male who presented to us with a nonunion of Smith fracture which he suffered as an open injury 3 months back.
