Abstract
We report five cases of nonunion of the distal radius. There were three women and two men. The mean age was 44 years (range, 34–56). All five patients were heavy tobacco smokers and three had a history of alcohol abuse. In three patients, union of the distal radius was obtained. Two had a persistent nonunion which was salvaged with a total wrist fusion.
