Abstract

With the development of social economy, high-intensity energy is the direct cause of fracture, such as traffic accident, fall injury and tumble. Fracture healing is affected by many factors, such as malunion, delayed union, nonunion and wound infection. Tibial fractures are usually caused by high-energy mechanisms and can also be caused by low-energy mechanisms of ankle rotation. With the gradual deepening of orthopedic surgeons′ understanding of bone nonunion, the treatment of tibial nonunion is mainly divided into surgical treatment and non-operative treatment. Surgical treatment is generally the first choice for the treatment of bone nonunion, in which plate internal fixation plays an unique advantage in the treatment of tibial nonunion. By reviewing the recently published literature, this paper reviews the latest progress in the treatment of tibial nonunion with plate internal fixation. Key words: Nonunion; Tibia; Fracture; Review
