[A comparative study of two internal fixation techniques for femoral nonunion after intramedullary nails].
Either dynamic fixation or plate augmentation combined with bone grafting is an effective method, but dynamic fixation is superior to plate augmentation combined with bone grafting for the treatment of femoral hyperplastic nonunion after interlocking intramedullary nails. Dynamic fixation offers several advantages, including simplified procedures, reduced trauma, and cost-effectiveness in medical expenses, making it superior to additional plate fixation combined with bone grafting. However, dynamic fixation is not suitable for the treatment of femoral atrophic nonunion.
