| Internal fixation gave low rates of angulatory malunion compared with early hip spica casting but high rates of overlengthening. |
| Nonunion, malunion or excision of coccyx with persistent symptoms. |
| In spite of advances in the treatment of distal radius fractures, malunion remains one of the most common complications. |
| Injuries to the growth centres of bones in children cause malunion and subsequent growth in a deformed manner. |
| This may occur as the result of malunion following acromial or humeral greater tuberosity fractures or from osteophytes which project into the subacromial space. |
| Healing in a poor position, or malunion, may occur when realignment has been improper or when injuries have destroyed large portions of the bone so that deformity must be accepted to salvage it. |
