  • Title: Nonunion of the distal radius.
    Author: Smith VA, Wright TW.
    Journal: J Hand Surg Br; 1999 Oct; 24(5):601-3. PubMed ID: 10597942.
    Abstract:
    We report five cases of nonunion of the distal radius. There were three women and two men. The mean age was 44 years (range, 34-56). All five patients were heavy tobacco smokers and three had a history of alcohol abuse. In three patients, union of the distal radius was obtained. Two had a persistent nonunion which was salvaged with a total wrist fusion.
