Matched-Pair Analysis: Large-Sized Defects in Surgery of Lower Limb Nonunions.
Journal of clinical medicine(2023)
Abstract
Surprisingly, defect size does not seem to have a significant effect on the consolidation rate and should not be seen as a risk factor. However, for the treatment of large-sized nonunions, the follow-up period should be prolonged up to 24 months, due to the extended time until consolidation will be achieved. This period should also pass before a premature revision with new bone augmentation is performed. In addition, it should be kept in mind that as the number of previous surgeries and revisions increases, the prospects for consolidation decrease and a change in therapeutic approach may be required.
