摘要
A thoughtful treatment algorithm is required to optimally treat distal tibia nonunion. A healthy respect for the tenuous soft tissue envelope, compromised vascularity, and challenging mechanical environment is advisable. Achieving osseous union and improved functionality requires an individualized plan of care based on the personality of the nonunion and host. Attention must be focused on providing mechanical stability at the site of nonunion and providing biologic supplementation.
