Infected Non-Union of the Distal Femur.

Kishore Vellingiri1, Nagakumar J S1.   

Abstract

The reported levels of non-union in the lateral locking plate differ widely, with some early studies showing rates of less than 6% and up to 17%-21% in more recent studies. We report a case where better results were shown by a non-union treated with distal femoral nailing with allogenic grafting.
