A malunion is when a fractured bone does not heal properly. Some ways that it shows is by having the bone being twisted, shorter, or bent. Malunions can occur by having the bones improperly aligned when immobilized, having the cast taken off too early, or never seeking medical treatment after the break.[1] Malunions are painful and commonly produce swelling around the area, possible immobilization, and deterioration of the bone and tissue.[2]
