Evaluation and treatment of fractures that have failed to progress to healing.
A non-union is a fracture-healing problem in which the bone fails to progress toward healing within the expected period and requires further evaluation.
Possible contributing factors include:
Assessment may include:
The bone may demonstrate biological healing activity, but mechanical stability may be inadequate.
There may be limited biological healing activity, poor blood supply, bone loss, or other biological factors.
Infection may be present at the fracture site and requires specific evaluation and treatment.
Treatment is directed at the underlying cause and may include:
Consult with Dr. Sai Dinesh to evaluate options for non-healing fractures.
