Classification of non-union is traditionally based on the amount of callus or bone healing at the fracture site. Successful treatment of non-union often depends on appropriate reduction and realignment of the fracture, bone grafting if necessary, and stabilization. This may not be possible in some neglected and complicated non-unions. Under these circumstances, modification of the standard techniques or a limited surgical interference, that might not be anatomical, may succeed in improving function. We present four cases of non-anatomical salvage solutions for difficult long bone non-unions with satisfactory functional outcome.}, keywords = {Non,unions,fracture,anatomical,Forearm,Hip fractures}, url = {https://www.traumamon.com/article_99839.html}, eprint = {https://www.traumamon.com/article_99839_e39a0ffc5dc71d8a268d85e68dd7a56e.pdf} }
