Single stage procedure including radical debridement, acute docking, distraction osteogenesis at corticotomy site and stabilization with monolateral rail fixator reliably achieves good to excellent bone and functional results, union and eradication of infection in majority of infected nonunions of femoral diaphysis developing after intramedullary fixation. We recommend acute docking in bone gap ≤ 5 cm.
