- We treated nine cases of delayed & non-union of femur and tibia at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Seoul Paik Hospital from Jan. 1990 to Octo. 1992 and results were as follows.
- 1. Nine cases of the delayed & non-union were consisted by 7 cases of femur and 2 cases of tibia.
- 2. Causes of delayed & non-union were failure of implants in 4 cases, inadequate and inappropriate immobilization in 3 cases, and persistent gap in 2 cases.
