Factors Associated With Episode of Care Adverse Events After Humerus Nonunion Repair

CONCLUSION: Using a large database over a recent 10-year period, we identified demographic and comorbid factors independently associated with episode of care adverse events after humeral nonunion repair. Patients 50 years or older had approximately three times the incidence of complications, readmissions, and reoperations in the first month after humeral nonunion repair compared with patients younger than 50 years. Our findings are relevant for preoperative risk stratification and counseling. [Orthopedics. 202x;4x(x):xx-xx.].PMID:38568000 | DOI:10.3928/01477447-20240325-03
