Augmentation plating leaving the nail in situ is an excellent option for treating femoral shaft nonunion after IM nailing, with a high union rate and few complications. We believe the technique should gradually replace exchange nailing as the standard of care for the majority of femoral shaft nonunions that occur after IM nailing.
