In an atrophic nonunion with a good soft-tissue envelope, adequate plating with cancellous bone graft can be used to span defects of up to 6 cm. Cortical graft from the fibula or iliac crest is not necessary. BMP-7 is a bone graft substitute and should not be used alone in this patient because the hardware is loose.
