Long-term functional outcome and quality of life after successful surgical treatment of tibial nonunions.

abstract：PURPOSE:Hemiarthroplasty (HA) is generally considered to be the treatment of choice in the most elderly patients with a displaced fracture of the femoral neck. However, there is inadequate evidence to support the choice between unipolar HA or bipolar HA. The primary aim of this study was to analyse the outcome regardin...
