“…The second goal is to enhance the possibility of healing incomplete fractures. Reduced healing capacity of incomplete AFFs can partly be explained by biomechanical factors in which daily low-impact activities are enough to cause strains that prohibit bone formation [ 38 ]. Accordingly, we believe that the healing process may benefit if this strain were significantly reduced.…”

“…Lim et al 49 tested 46 variables for association with healing time longer than six months or non-union. High BMI and subtrochanteric fracture location were significantly associated with delayed healing time, but these factors are not controllable.…”

“…A single-center study of 109 AFFs was performed in Korea. 11) Bone union was achieved within 6 months in 76 AFFs (69.7% of the fractures), whereas there was nonunion in six AFFs (two patients underwent revision surgery and four declined further surgery). In the present study, bone union was achieved within 6 months in 3 of 13 AFFs (excluding case 8 with an incomplete fracture), so the rate was slightly lower at 31%.…”
