About

This study aimed to compare the radiologic results between closed nailing without bone graft (BG) and open nailing with BG for subtrochanteric nonunion and to determine when open BG should be considered.

Full description

In this retrospective study, we investigated the patients who underwent surgical intervention for subtrochanteric nonunion between January 2008 and March 2018 in two institutions. The cases with infection, large bone defect, pathologic fracture, open fracture, previous surgery using plate, and follow-up less than 1 year were excluded. We compared the demographic details and radiologic results between patients who underwent the open procedure with BG (BG group) and the closed procedure without BG (non-BG group) as a historical control, and risk factors for the failure of revision surgery were evaluated.
