Serial Xrays of Non Union In Operated Intercondylar Fracture Resulting In Implant Failure

34 years old male came to our OPD one and half year of surgery for intercondylar fracture of right humerus. His main complaint was stiffness of the elbow and pain.

On examination his elbow was fixed in 90 degrees of flexion contracture with only few degrees of movement permissible and movements were painful too. The incision scars were well healed and there was no draining sinus.

His previous record was examined and he had sustained an intercondylar fracture 18 months back and was operated for.

Earliest xray available was after 4 months of surgery. Here are those xrays
