Synopsis: 75 YO woman, malunion from a radius fx 20 years ago, second fx 8 months ago (Synthes volar plate to the radius and a Synthes 2.0 mm plate
to the distal ulna, with suture of TFC complex).
At 6 months, full mobility, no pain, but doubts
about nonunion on xray.
Now, 8 months after her surgery, a third radius fx from a fall.
 
These are the xrays upon presentation.
(3) Anything special that should accompany the revision?
I think that although infection is unlikely, it should be ruled out by a culture of tissue, and bone graft will definitely be needed.
