exicion of bone fragments in case of delayed or non union
#fracture #fracturecomplications #orthopedics
An excision may or may not need to be combined with replacement with an artificial mould (prosthesis). For example, the lower-end of the ulna can be excised for non-union of the fracture of the distal-end of the ulna without much loss. In non-union of fracture of the neck of femur in an elderly, the head of the femur can be replaced by a prosthesis (replacement arthroplasty)

metimes, achieving union is difficult and time consuming compared to excision of one of the fragments. This can only be done where excision of the fragment will not cause any loss of functions. <span>An excision may or may not need to be combined with replacement with an artificial mould (prosthesis).
