Previous literature has reviewed time periods when contemporary techniques of internal fixation and management of open injuries had not been available. The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate a large consecutive series of pediatric nonunions treated at a level I trauma center. Between 1985 and 2000, 43 nonunions in 42 pediatric patients with a mean age of 9 years and 9 months (range, 3\u201314 years) were identified at our level I trauma center. Eleven of the original 43 fractures were open and 5 presented with active infection. Patients were observed until union or a minimum of 1 year with a mean follow-up of 50 months. Twenty of 43 nonunions (47%) were located around the elbow. Seventeen of 43 nonunions (39%) were diaphyseal. The operative fractures required a mean of 3.6 surgeries (range, 1\u201319 surgeries) to achieve bony union. All secondary attempts to achieve union were successful at last follow-up. Although nonunions in the pediatric population are rare, these data underscore the importance of careful evaluation and treatment of these fractures at risk for nonunion.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3928\/01477447-20090511-11","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,8,14]],"date-time":"2009-08-14T14:28:40Z","timestamp":1250260120000},"page":"410-414","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Nonunion of Fractures in Pediatric Patients: 15-Year Experience at a Level I Trauma Center"],"prefix":"10.3928","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"M.
