| Early application of a hip spica cast was associated with a shorter duration of hospital stay and low rates of malunion compared with traction. |
| Injuries to the growth centres of bones in children cause malunion and subsequent growth in a deformed manner. |
| Internal fixation gave low rates of angulatory malunion compared with early hip spica casting but high rates of overlengthening. |
| In spite of advances in the treatment of distal radius fractures, malunion remains one of the most common complications. |
| The osteosynthesis permitted successful vascular treatment, but malunion occurred with cephalad displacement and external rotation of the iliac wing. |
| The final functional result was good in spite of a malunion with cephalad displacement of the iliac wing of 15 mm. |
