Usoro AO, et al. - Authors estimated 47,169 cases under 14 studies comparing the combined rate of adverse events of acute vs delayed fracture fixation, and length of follow-up. They observed a 5.2% overall complication rate and malalignment >5 degrees of angulation in any plane as the most common complication, followed by delayed/nonunion, infection, and hardware failure.
