At 3 months post-operatively, CT imaging suggested the presence of delayed union in the femoral neck, which was treated with LIPUS (Fig. 2a). A diagnosis of nonunion was given but LIPUS therapy was discontinued because the patient rejected the therapy (Fig. 2b). CT imaging after 20 consecutive weekly administrations of TPTD revealed signs of healing and the patient reported a gradual decrease in groin pain on ambulation (Fig. 2c). Complete union of the fracture was obtained at 23 months (Fig. 2d).
