Abstract
The problems with bone healing still exist, despite the significant development of treatment methods in traumatology and orthopedics. There is a standard treatment approach with expected consolidation times of up to 6 months for diaphyseal femoral fractures. However, there are no algorithms for cases when the time for consolidation exceeds 1 year. In this article is presented the experience of treating a patient with a diaphyseal femoral fracture that had delayed consolidation.
