Abstract
While exchange nailing has been a useful technique for femur nonunion management, far proximal and distal nonunions present challenges that are difficult to correct with nails alone. Angled blade plates are extremely powerful tools for nonunion management in proximal and distal femur nonunions where limited bone stock exists for purchase. Below, we review the indications for blade plate usage and present a pertrochanteric nonunion case managed with a blade plate to review the technical steps needed for success.
