Abstract
The management of a femoral nonunion after intramedullary nailing is challenging. Exchange nailing or plate augmentation has been used to treat hypertrophic nonunions previously. The Poller screw augmentation technique is a simple procedure that can be performed in the outpatient surgery. In this study, we highlight the method of hypertrophic nonunion management according to the specific indication including our Poller screw augmentation technique.Entities:
