Long bone nonunions have an important impact on a patient's quality of life. The purpose of this study was to compare long bone nonunions with use of the Time Trade-Off direct measure to compute utility scores and to determine which nonunion anatomic location had the lowest health-related quality of life. The Time Trade-Off assesses the percentage of a patient's remaining life that the patient would be willing to trade for perfect health.
