Abstract

Nonunions of the wrist and hand present a challenging problem with continually evolving treatment modalities. Appropriate evaluation of the nonunited wrist or hand fracture, identification of the causal factors leading to nonunion, and subsequent choice of intervention are critical to providing a functional and painless extremity. This chapter will discuss nonunions of the wrist and hand, their sequelae, and treatment options ranging from reconstructions to salvage procedures.
