Pedicled medial femoral condyle corticoperiosteal flap for achieving union in patients with nonunion of the distal half of the femur (A short case series of three patients)

Pedicled medial femoral condyle corticoperiosteal flap for achieving union in patients with nonunion of the distal half of the femur (A short case series of three patients)

Abstract Background Recalcitrant bone nonunion is characterized by impaired biological potential at the fracture site due to diminished vascularity and loss of osteogenic cells, reducing the success rate of nonvascularized bone grafts. In cases of ununited fractures of the tibia and femur with minim...
