Surgical planning is critical for treating complex nonunions of per-inter-subtrochanteric femur fractures. Transforming the nonunion into an osteotomy plane offers a viable surgical approach for these challenging cases.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Traumatology
  • Bone Healing Research

Background:

  • Per-inter-subtrochanteric femur fractures present unique challenges in nonunion management.
  • Standard therapeutic protocols are often insufficient due to complex anatomotopographical features and lesion progression.

Observation:

  • Nonunion in this specific fracture region requires meticulous surgical planning.
  • The center of the nonunion can be strategically converted into an osteotomy plane.

Findings:

  • A surgical technique involving transformation of the nonunion into an osteotomy plane was successfully applied in four cases.
  • This approach addresses the difficulties in defining a clear therapeutic protocol for these complex pathologies.

Implications:
