The Outcome Of Retaining A Stable Implant In Ununited Infected Fracture Following Open Reduction And Internal Fixation Of Closed Fractures In Long Bones

This is a retrospective study of 30 patients with ununited infected fractures but with stable implant. The study was done between January 1995 to December 2000 in University Science Malaysia Kubang Kerian. An infected ununited fracture is an orthopedic dilemma in deciding whether to remove the impla...
