Abstract
- The authors report the case of a nonunited supra-malleolar fracture with severe angulation in an elderly patient. Poor vascular condition and severe osteoporosis prevented the use of either a surgical approach or internal fixation. Gradual realignment and union were nevertheless achieved within 6 months post operatively using the "Sequoïa" external fixation system, while weight-bearing was continued throughout the course of treatment.
