Use of compression bone plate after metatarsal nonunion
Abstract:
In summary, slow union can be caused from impaired blood supply, delayed union by inadequate immobilization, whether external or internal, and infection. Nonunion as well as delayed union may be caused by prolonged movement and interposition of soft tissue. Slow union and delayed union with too early cessation of immobilization cause nonunion. It may be said that if a fracture has not united within 4 months, delayed union is occurring. After 8 months, nonunion or pseudoarthrosis occurs (4).
