Figure 3

Frequencies of (a) atrophic and (b) hypertrophic nonunions depended on patient’s gender. Hypertrophic nonunion patients were male in 62.2% while numbers of male and female patients with atrophic nonunions were almost even with 52.4% female versus 47.6% male patients suffering from atrophic nonunions.
