What are the Treatments?
The treatment of non-union depends on the types of fracture and reasons for non-healing in the patient. In some cases, surgery is not required for the healing as they are treated with braces and various non-invasion methods.
In the surgeries, the surgeons mainly focus on
- Removing any dead bones from the fracture area.
- Grafting healthy bones and muscular tissues as well as bone marrow in a nearby area.
- Create stability in the fracture area by using nails, plates, and limb reconstruction system.
