The incidence of femur fractures has increased in recent years, along with the rate of surgery and subsequent nonunion following these fractures. Nonunion is a significant concern due to the burden it places on both patients and the healthcare system. This study aims to investigate the demographic factors associated with femoral shaft fracture nonunion by comparing two surgical management approaches: open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) with plating versus closed reduction and fixation using intramedullary nailing (IMN).
