In total, 628 patients were registered, of whom 108 presented with a large-sized defect (≥ 5 cm). A total of 70 patients met the inclusion criteria. The primary endpoint was radiological consolidation of nonunions after one and two years via a modified Lane-Sandhu Score, including only radiological parameters.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The mean defect size was 6.77 cm (SD 1.86), with the largest defect being 12.6 cm. Within two years after surgical treatment, 45 patients (64.3%) presented consolidation of the previous nonunion. After one year, six patients (8.6%) showed complete consolidation and 23 patients (32.9%) showed a considerable callus formation, whereas 41 patients (58.6%) showed a Lane-Sandhu score of 2 or below. Two years after surgery, 24 patients (34.3%) were categorized as Lane-Sandhu score 4, another 23 patients (32.9%) reached a score of 3, while 14 patients (20.0%) remained without final consolidation (score ≤ 2). A total of nine patients (12.9%) missed the two-year follow-up. The mean follow-up was 44.40 months (SD 32.00). The mean time period from nonunion surgery to consolidation was 16.42 months (SD 9.73).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Patients with presentation of a large-sized nonunion require a structured and sufficiently long follow-up to secure the consolidation of the former nonunion. Furthermore, a follow-up of at least two years is required in order to declare a nonunion as consolidated, given that a significant part of the nonunions declared as not consolidated at one year showed consolidation within the second year. Moreover, the proven \"gold standard\" of a two-step procedure, so called Masquelet technique, shows effectiveness.</p>","PeriodicalId":34103,"journal":{"name":"Bone & Joint Open","volume":"6 1","pages":"26-34"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142932883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All patients who underwent primary TKA in all 47 public hospitals in Hong Kong between January 2021 and December 2023 were analyzed.
