| The osteosynthesis permitted successful vascular treatment, but malunion occurred with cephalad displacement and external rotation of the iliac wing. |
| Injuries to the growth centres of bones in children cause malunion and subsequent growth in a deformed manner. |
| Nonunion, malunion or excision of coccyx with persistent symptoms. |
| Thus, relevant mid-term complications, such as humeral head necrosis, malunion and nonunion may not have been detected. |
| 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. |
| This may occur as the result of malunion following acromial or humeral greater tuberosity fractures or from osteophytes which project into the subacromial space. |
