Abstract

Internal fixation with a plate in the management of non-union for shaft of long bones has been condemned but the review of the literature does not provide such unequivocal evidence. Also there are certain situations where it is either technically not feasible or contraindicated to do closed intramedullary nailing. This study was done to see the outcome of plate-fixation for the treatment of non-union of the shaft of long bones.
