title: Gamma nailing for the treatment of subtrochanteric nonunion: two clinical cases.
abstract: The authors propose two cases of subtrochanteric nonunion (one infected) treated by Gamma nailing. Early movement and the fact that weight-bearing is allowed are particularly advantageous for functional recovery. This method is proposed as a good alternative to open osteosynthesis with bone grafting.
