Abstract
The elucidated risk factors of nonunion after femoral nailing were identified as open fracture, infra-isthmal femoral fracture, breakage of locking screw, and inappropriate dynamization. We believe that the surgeon should be consciously aware of the need for additional surgical fixation for the distal fragment when performing femoral nailing of infra-isthmal femoral fractures.
