N2 - The tibia is the most common long bone at risk for nonunion with an annual incidence ranging from 12% to 19%. This topic continues to be an area of research as management techniques constantly evolve. A foundational knowledge of the fundamental concepts, etiology, and risk factors for nonunions is crucial for success. Treatment of tibial shaft nonunions often requires a multidisciplinary effort.
