| This may occur as the result of malunion following acromial or humeral greater tuberosity fractures or from osteophytes which project into the subacromial space. |
| The osteosynthesis permitted successful vascular treatment, but malunion occurred with cephalad displacement and external rotation of the iliac wing. |
| 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. |
| The final functional result was good in spite of a malunion with cephalad displacement of the iliac wing of 15 mm. |
| 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. |
