Re: Distal femur non union

Mark Brinker's group published a very thought-provoking article in a recent (<6 mos) J.O.T. that showed significant metabolic abnormalities in patients with nonunions that "should have" otherwise healed, as this "should have". (they had specific criteria for inclusion in the 'should have' group). I forget the exact distribution of abnormalities but they included most frequently Vitamin D deficiency, abnormalities of calcium and parathyroid function, and some other metabolic problems.
Bottom line in my opinion: be sure this young healthy kid is thoroughly worked up metabolically before any more surgery.

PS - I can send the .pdf of that article if you want to see it.
