Patient-dependent factors for fractures union failure among Riyadh population 2016.

Background: The primary care has an important role to prevent fractures and make sure of complete healing without any complications like a Malunion which arises when a fracture has healed in a non-anatomical position, and a delayed union which defined as a healing time of more than 12 weeks and a non-union which occurs when absence of fracture healing progression on series of radiographs or with no evidence of healing over 10 weeks.

Objectives: To identify the proportion of fracture healing failure types and identify Patient-dependent Factors.

Methodology: cross sectional study consecutive sampling till completing sample size (90) patients.
