Nonunion Surgery – Restoring Bone Healing & Strength

At The Fracture & Orthopaedic Clinic, we specialize in treating complex fractures that fail to heal properly, a condition known as nonunion. Our expert team, led by Dr. Srinivasan K, Dr. Shankar R. Kurpad, and Dr. Kamini Kurpad, provides advanced nonunion surgery to restore bone integrity and mobility, ensuring long-term recovery and function.

What is Nonunion?

Nonunion occurs when a fractured bone fails to heal naturally within the expected timeframe, leading to persistent pain and weakness. This condition can arise due to insufficient blood supply, infection, or inadequate stabilization of the bone.

Causes of Nonunion

• Poor Blood Supply – Reduced circulation prevents bone regeneration.
• Infection – Post-fracture infections can delay or halt healing.
• Inadequate Immobilization – Improper alignment or movement at the fracture site.
• Nutritional Deficiencies – Lack of essential nutrients like calcium and vitamin D.
• Smoking & Medical Conditions – Diabetes, osteoporosis, and smoking can hinder bone healing.

Symptoms of Nonunion

• Persistent pain at the fracture site.
• Swelling, redness, or warmth around the area.
• Visible deformity or instability in the affected bone.
• Difficulty bearing weight or using the limb.
