dc.description.abstractIntroduction : Infection following implant surgery in orthopaedics is a disaster both for surgeon and patient. Management of infected non-union is a most challenging task an orthopaedic surgeon can ever face. Infection following implant surgery not only leads to repeated surgeries, long term antibiotic use, stiffness of neighbouring joints and long term hospital stay but also effects patients economic, social, psychological status. Cases : Here we present report of 2 cases infected non-union ulna which was managed by stabilisation of non-union site by altering position of existing plate followed by period of open dressing till healthy granulation tissue appears. Later open bone grafting procedure done. Both patients were followed up for 15 months. Results : At the end of 4 months both patients achieved bony union without recurrence of infection. So, we conclude management of infected nonunions by altering plate position and by following papineau method of open bone grafting leads to satisfactory results. Conclusion : This technique is simple, effective and done with minimal expenditure and could be best procedure of choice in patients where cost benefit analysis appears critical.en_US
