malunion

They are the most likely fractures to go for malunion.

Malunion and deformity of the iliac wing can occur.

Malunion: The condyles of the distal humerus do not correctly join together.

If a Jones fracture fails to unite (malunion or non union), which is a common problem with these fractures, it can become a chronic condition.

Sometimes, the fractured bone will not heal completely (called a nonunion), or will heal improperly (called a malunion).

Fractures of the scapular body with displacement may heal with malunion, but even this may not interfere with movement of the affected shoulder.

Shortening, varus deformity, valgus deformity, and rotational malunion all occur often because the fracture may be unstable and collapse before it heals.

Treatment of fractures, non-union and malunion of fractures, ligament injuries, reconstructive surgeries, specialized Ilizarov surgery (limb lengthening procedure)

Monteggia fractures may be managed conservatively in children with closed reduction (resetting and casting), but due to high risk of displacement causing malunion, open reduction internal fixation is typically performed.

Complications of ORIF surgery for Monteggia fractures can include non-union, malunion, nerve palsy and damage, muscle damage, arthritis, tendonitis, infection, stiffness and loss of range of motion, compartment syndrome, audible popping or snapping, deformity, and chronic pain associated with surgical hardware such as pins, screws, and plates.
