Nonunion tibial fracture

Patient broke ankle over 2 years ago. Patient is also a heavy smoker.
This is why you shouldn't smoke, it delays bone growth!

Another elbow ORIF...

This one isn't as straight forward with the healing process.
It's a supracondylar fracture of the elbow. The patient underwent surgery including an olecranon osteotomy fixation.
The screws other than the olcranon fixation got infected. There is also degeneration in the elbow joint itself.
Movement with the patient was difficult. They couldn't supinate the arm so i had to do the AP view (or for this case PA) cross-table.
While there is bone growth from the previous films, the likelihood of easy movement is very unlikely.
