Nonunion in Neglected Femoral Neck Fracture by olgamachorrom is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This case report discusses a 30-year-old female with a neglected femoral neck fracture who underwent subtrochanteric valgus osteotomy and fixation with an angled blade plate, but experienced nonunion after eight months. The fracture was successfully refixed with a longer angled blade plate and autografting, leading to complete union and full hip function after two years. The report highlights the importance of careful surgical planning and patient optimization to prevent nonunion in similar cases.
