Özet

Objective: The treatment of femoral nonunion is challenging for both the surgeon and the patient. Strut allografts increase the bone stock, enhance fracture healing and increase stability by acting as a biological plate. In this study, we aimed to report the results of the sandwich technique with two-strut allograft in the treatment of oligotrophic or atrophic femoral nonunions.
