    Hi Dr,is it possible to correct a fusion where hardware is suspected of causing lack of fusion?

    It is unusual that hardware would be the cause of non-union. If we assume that the hardware was for some reason, the cause of failure, then revision to a solid fusion would not be hard to accomplish.
