In this study, we identified several non-traditional factors associated with 5MT fracture non-union that warrant further consideration and may assist clinicians during the decision-making process. The relationship between non-fracture related factors with non-union needs to be further examined via larger clinical studies before causality can be determined and designation of those variables as risk factors.
