The causes and management of nonunion of femoral subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy in a THA patient: a case report.

THA with femoral subtrochanteric transverse osteotomy exhibits good efficacy for the treatment of patients with Crowe type IV DDH. However, postoperative nonunion occurs in a small number of cases. The causes of nonunion should be analysed, and effective measures should be taken to prevent this situation. Plate and screw internal fixation with BMP is an effective treatment for nonunion of the ends of an osteotomy.
