Non union and Mal-union
Non Union And Mal-Union
- Fracture lower half of tibia, neck of femur & scaphoid are known for nonunion
- Pappu, 7 yrs old young boy, had fracture of lateral condyle of femur. He developed malunion as the fracture was not reduced anatomically. Malunion will produce Genu valgum
- Periosteal injuries, Absence of nerve supply & Chronic infection fascilitate non union
- The most common cause of non union is Inadequate immobilization
- Non – union is a complication of Scaphoid #
- The most common complication of clavicle fracture is Malunuion
- The most important cause of Nonunion of fracture of – humeral shaft is Distraction at fracture site
- Fracture shaft of humerus is known for Non union in children, if left untreated
- Growth disturbance, nonunion, elbow instability & late ulnar nerve palsy is commonly seen in Fracture lateral condyle
- A 10-year-old boy presenting with a cubitus varus deformity and a history of trauma 3 months back on clinical examination, has the preserved 3 bony point relationship of the elbow. The most probable diagnosis is Malunited supracondylar fracture of humerus
- The malunion of supracondylar fracture of the humerus most commonly leads to Cubitus varus
- The most common complication of supracondylar fracture is Malunion with gun stock deformity
- Commonest complication of Colles’ fracture is Malunion
- In nonunion of scaphoid vescularized muscle pedicle graft is taken from Pronator quadratus
- Nonunion is a very common complication of intracapsular fractures of the neck of femur most commonly caused by Inadequate immobilization, blood supply or Inhibitory effect of synovial fluid
- Commonest complication of extra capsular intertrochanteric fracture of neck of femur is Malunion
- The most common complication of intracapsular fracture neck of femur is nonunion
- Treatment of Non-union of # shaft femur Bone grafting with internal fixation with K-Nail
- Best treatment of 3 weeks old, fracture shaft femur with nonunion is Bone graft with internal fixation
- Non union is a common feature of fracture of Lower tibia
- Common sites of fracture non union are Waist of scaphoid, Neck of femur & Distal 1/3 tibia fibula
- Mc Murray’s osteotomy is done for Nonunion transcervical neck fracture of femur
- Fracture neck femur cause of non-union is Injury to blood supply with shearing stress
