Need to review the pt and see why the bone fractures again. Need some tests to confirm the reason. Regards Prof M A Wajid
What about skin condition? If all is OK, and patient is not willing for surgery, Can be managed conservative with pop

yesÛ”after removal of hardware bone must protect for 2 to 3 weeksÛ”
protection may be with brace or splintageÛ”Û”
Agrees with Dr Wajid
Maybe some underlying metabolic disease leading to pathological fracture everytime.

His rod is removed too early and now he has developed hypertrophic nonunion. Best is to get surgery again with reamed nail in dynamic mode.

Consult any good experienced Orthopeadic surgeon in your area: My plans about this patient would be : First to rule out infection ( by inspection and some blood tests ) secondly if there is no infection will go for exchange IM Rod a technical strategy and the best option to bring healing of this fracture and if there is infection then I would go for Antibiotic Rod first . I. This case Rod was malplaced and malpositioned .

bone is breaking again. investigating the reason is important.
Needs workup for non union. Meanwhile brace or splint can be given and weight bearing should be avoided.
There is no need for surgery. He has to walk with stick and put full weight on it
