What is Nonunion?
When is Nonunion Surgery Needed?
Your doctor may recommend nonunion surgery if:
👉 Your bone fracture has not healed after 6-9 months
👉 You have persistent pain at the fracture site
👉 There is abnormal movement at the fracture area
👉 Imaging shows a gap or poor bone healing
👉 Previous treatments (casting, bracing) have failed
Causes of Nonunion
Poor blood supply to the fracture site
Severe or open fractures
Infection at the fracture site
Inadequate stabilization (movement at fracture)
Medical conditions (e.g., diabetes, smoking-related poor healing)
How is Nonunion Surgery Done?
✅ Internal fixation: Plates, screws, or rods stabilize the bone
✅ Bone grafting: Adds healthy bone tissue to stimulate healing
✅ Biological stimulation: Techniques like bone marrow aspirate or bone growth factors
✅ Treatment of infection (if present): Removal of infected tissue and targeted antibiotics
Benefits of Nonunion Surgery
✅ Promotes complete bone healing
✅ Restores stability and strength
✅ Relieves pain
✅ Improves mobility and function
