  • Abstract
    Nonunio‎n is a relatively rare, yet challenging problem after fracture of the femoral neck. Risk factors include verticality of thefracture line and presence of comminution of the posteromedial calcar, as well as quality of reduction. Treatment options consist ofvalgus intertrochanteric osteotomy versus arthroplasty. Treatment should be tailored to the individual patient, taking into accountpatient age and activity demands. This review outlines the principles and technical considerations for valgus osteotomy of theproximal femur in the setting of femoral neck nonunio‎n
