Nonunion: Tibia Case 4
Treatment in ProgressFollowing nail removal, the patient received Ilizarov treatment by Dr. Brinker with slow distraction of her hypertrophic nonunion. Exchange nailing was discussed as an option but it was felt that her small medullary canal was poorly suited for this technique. Compression plating was also contemplated but the patient’s history of infection and the poor status of the soft tissues in the zone of injury were of concern.
