Results of revision intramedullary nailing with and without auxillary plate in aseptic trochanteric and subtrochanteric nonunion.

This study did not demonstrate significant differences in functional and radiologic outcomes following revision intramedullary nailing of aseptic trochanteric and subtrochanteric fracture nonunion. Limited open auxiliary plate fixation might be a reasonable option especially in cases of relevant varus axis deviation and comminuted or atypical fracture configurations, regardless of patients' age. Retrospectively registered with the German Clinical Trials Register (01/25/2021; ID: DRKS00024112).
