Abstract

Objective To investigate the effect of interlocking intramedullary nailing for femoral fracture nonunion. Methods 23 cases of femoral fracture nonunion were treated with interlocking intramedullary nailing and early CPM exercises. Results 23 cases were followed up for 6~24 months. All fractures healed in 12~19 weeks, 16.3 on average. The knee function was improved in all cases significantly. Conclusions It is an ideal way to treat femoral fracture nonunion with interlocking intramedullary nailing.
