Long-term clinical and radiological outcomes following non-union surgery: ongoing remodeling and improvement in clinical findings after five years

Non-unions after fractures are known to be a devastating complication in trauma surgery and studies assessing long-term patient-reported, clinical, and radiological outcome measures are scarce. Most evidence-based research on non-unions and their long-term follow-up evaluate the first two post-opera...

Description
Summary:Non-unions after fractures are known to be a devastating complication in trauma surgery and studies assessing long-term patient-reported, clinical, and radiological outcome measures are scarce. Most evidence-based research on non-unions and their long-term follow-up evaluate the first two post-operative years while excluding subsequent years and their impact on the overall outcome. This study aimed to evaluate the functional, clinical and radiological outcomes five years post-operative.
