Nonunion 主讲教师:欧阳宏伟/蔡友治 浙江大学医学院
Femoral Neck Nonunion • Definition: not healed by one year • 0-5% in Non-displaced fractures • 9-35% in Displaced fractures • Increased incidence with • Posterior comminution • Initial displacement • Inadequate reduction • Non-compressive fixation
Clinical presentation Groin or buttock pain Activity / weight bearing related Symptoms more severe / occur earlier than AVN Imaging Radiographs: lucent zones CT: lack of healing Bone Scan: high uptake MRI: assess femoral head viability Femoral Neck Nonunion
Mechanism Normal healing
Time course of fracture healing Caranoa RAD, Filvaroffb EH. Angiogenesis and bone repair. Drug Discovery Today. 2003;8(21): 980–989
Metaphyseal bone healing process Contact healing Gap healing
Inflammation and repair Claes, L. et al. (2012) Fracture healing under healthy and inflammatory conditions Nat. Rev. Rheumatol.
Mechanism Nonunion Lack of fusion Normal healing
Definition • FDA defined nonunion as “established when a minimum of 9 months has elapsed since fracture with no visible progressive signs of healing for 3 months” • Every fracture has its own timetable (ie long bone shaft fracture 6 months, femoral neck fracture 3 months)
Etiology • Do not blame the osteoblasts (Watson Jones). • Fractures have a spontaneous tendency to heal. (Merle D’Aubigne). • Delayed or non-union is often multifactorial in nature. • Disturbed vascularity and instability are the most important factors leading to a non-union. • Biological:Neck of the femur
Nonunion Nonunited fractures form two types of pseudoarthrosis: • Hypervascular or hypertrophic With biological reaction capacity • Avascular or atrophic Without biological reaction capacity
Judet-Weber classification • Hypervascular or hypertrophic non-union • They do not heal because of instability
Judet-Weber classification • Avascular or atrophic non-union • They do not heal because of biological deficit
A. Hypervascular or Hypertrophic nonunion • Elephant foot (hypertophic, rich in callus) • Horse foot (mildly hypertophic, poor in callus) • Oligotrophic (not hypertrophic, no callus)
Elephant foot Horse hoof Oligotrophic A. Hypervascular or Hypertrophic nonunion
Hypertrophic non-union • Hypertrophic non-union is frequently localized in the lower extremities. • Its development largely depends on an impaired mechanical stability.
Calcifying focus Non-union focus Ca. marked fracture site
Ca. marked fracture site Totally calcified focus Fracture healing trabeculae
Stabilized fracture evolution • Mechanical stability allows the fibrous cartilage to calcify and finally ossify after vascular penetration. • Resection of an hypertrophic non-union must be regarded as an error.

B. Avascular or Atrophic nonunion • Torsion wedge (intermediate fragment) • Comminuted (necrotic intermediate fragment) • Defect (loss of fragment of the diaphysis) • Atrophic (scar tissue with no osteogenic potential is replacing the missing fragment) • Avascular nonunions.

A B C D
B. Avascular or Atrophic nonunion • Avascular non-union originates because of the devascularisation of the bone fragments adjacent to the fracture site due to injury and/or surgery.
Devitalized fragments united by callus to the main fragments without evidence of bone healing B. Avascular or Atrophic nonunion
Nonunion Treatment: • Biotherapeutics: PRP • Elecrical • Electromagnatic • Ulrasound • External fixation • Surgical • Hypertrophic: stable fixation of fragments • Atrophic: decortication and bone grafting • According to classification: type A : restoration of alignment, compression type B : cortical osteotomy, bone transport or lengthening
Nonunion Surgical guidelines: • Good reduction • Bone grafting • Firm stabilization
Nonunion Bone Grafting origins: • Autogenous “the golden standard” • Allograft • Synthetic substitute
Special Problems Stress Fractures • Patient population: • Females 4–10 times more common • Amenorrhea / eating disorders common • Femoral BMD average 10% less than control subjects • Hormone deficiency • Recent increase in athletic activity • Frequency, intensity, or duration • Distance runners most common
Cause • Change in load • Small number of repetitions with large load • Large number of reps, usual load • Intermediate combination of increased load and repetition
Pathophysiology • Wolff’s Law: change in external stress leads to change in shape and strength of bone • bone re-models in response to stress • ABRUPT Increase in duration, intensity, frequency without adequate rest (re-modeling) • Stress fracture: imbalance between bone resorption and formation • Microfracture -> continued load -> stress fracture
Risk factors • History of prior stress fracture • Low level of physical fitness, non-athlete • Increasing volume and intensity • Female Gender • Menstrual irregularity • Diet poor in calcium • Poor bone health • Poor biomechanics
Risk factors • Prior stress fracture: • 6 x risk in distance runner and military recruits • 60% of track athletes have hx of prior stress fracture • One year recurrence: 13% • Poor Physical Fitness - muscles absorb impact • >1cm decrease in calf girth • Less lean mass in LE • Less than 7 months prior strength training
Intrinsic factors • Extreme arch morphologies: • Pes cavus • Pes planus • Biomechanical factors: • Shorter duration of foot pronation • Sub-talar joint control • Tibial striking torque • Early hindfoot eversion
Extrinsic factors • Activity type and intensity • Footwear • Older shoes • Shock absorbing cushioned inserts • Running Surface • Treadmill • Track
