Nonunion and malunion are uncommon complications following femoral neck fracture and even more rarely reported after a fracture of the acetabulum. These complications can be difficult to diagnose but can be successfully treated with a large number of patients experiencing good to excellent outcomes. ...
HIP FRACTURE MALUNION AND NON-UNION Two factors associated with hip fracture malunion and non-union: 1. The subtrochanteric area of the proximal femur is cortical bone, with decreased blood supply. 2. The subtrochanteric area is prone to large biomechanical stresses that can lead to loosening of...
Encouragingly, complications such as vascular nerve injury, internal fixation failure, fracture nonunion or malunion, and lower extremity deep vein thrombosis were absent in both cohorts. At last follow up, the incidence of collapse exceeding 2 mm or inadequate repositioning was 0 (0%) in the ...
malunion is well characterized in thepediatricpopulation after supracondylar fractures (seeChapters 27and28), but has not been analyzed as extensively in the adult population.6,10This chapter reviews the prevalence, risk factors, pathology, and treatment options for distal humeralnonunionsand the ...

intracapsular/impacted fracture sequelae (associated with both cephalic collapse or necrosis [type 1] and chronic dislocation or fracture-dislocation [type 2]), and extracapsular/disimpacted fracture sequelae (associated with both surgical neck nonunions [type 3] and severe tuberosity malunions [type...

Malunion: Proximal tibia fractures especially have a tendency for malalignment in the valgus and apex anterior (procurvatum) deformity.[17] Nonunion: Typically defined by the inability for a fracture to heal without surgical intervention or no radiographic healing after six months. ...
34 reviewed 213 patients treated with functional fracture bracing or compression plating and find the rates of non-union and malunion greater in the nonsurgical group (20.6% vs. 8.7%, 12.7% vs. 1.3%, respectively) There were no differences between the groups in terms of time to union,...
