Kanakaris, NK, Tosounidis, TH and Giannoudis, PV (2015) Surgical management of infected non-unions: An update. Injury, 46. S25-S32. ISSN 0020-1383
Abstract
Infected non-union is a devastating complication post fracture fixation. While its incidence is small, its management is lengthy, challenging and costly. Complex reconstruction surgery is often required with unpredictable outcomes despite the significant advances that have been made in diagnostics, surgical techniques and antibiotic protocols. In this article we present recent approaches to the surgical treatment of this condition.
