Femur nonunion with deformity and shortening treated with a Blade plate

Doctor: S. Robert Rozbruch

Patient: Robert



Robert is a 50 year old attorney who after a ski accident sustained a proximal femur fracture.

After 3 unsuccessful attemps at repair, he was left with pain, shortening, and a bad limp from a recalcitrant nonunion.

After a careful plan, the hardware was removed and the nonunion was repaired and the deformity and LLD were corrected with a blade plate.

\

An internal bone stimulator was added to enhance healing potential.


Bony healing in excellent position. Recovered with excellent function..

He has returned to his busy and active lifestyle.
