Most patients gradually recover after receiving internal fixation treatment, and the treatment effect is relatively significant. According to relevant surveys and studies, the probability of bone nonunion in postoperative patients is 5–10%, which is a common complication. Nonunion is a condition where the fractured bone has not healed after an extended period of time, e.g. 9 months after treatment, and there is no sign of improvement for 3 consecutive months, necessitating timely treatment. This article reviews the research progress in the treatment of nonunion in limb fractures.</abstract><keywords/></article-meta></front><body/><back><ref-list><ref id="B1" content-type="article"><label>1</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><p>Chen G, Xue Z, Li X, et al., 2022, Effect of Interlocking Intramedullary Nail or Plate Fixation of Autogenous Bone and Artificial Bone in the Treatment of Bone Nonunion After Traumatic Fracture of Extremities.
