These fractures are difficult to manage also for experienced surgeons, with results not always<br>satisfactory. Reported nonunion rates now range from 0 to 34%. Factors associated with nonunion include<br>comorbidities, such as obesity and diabetes, as well as the presence of open fractures, medial bone defects<br>and comminuted fractures. This case report summarizes all of these assumptions and it concerns a 58 years<br>old patient who underwent to 6 surgical procedures before to arrive to bone healing.</p>}, number={4-S}, journal={Acta Biomedica Atenei Parmensis}, author={Pogliacomi, Francesco and Artoni, Carlotta and Calderazzi, Filippo and Leigheb, Massimiliano and Primiceri, Paolo and Pedrazzini, Alessio and Ceccarelli, Francesco and Vaienti, Enrico}, year={2020}, month={May}, pages={259–266} }
