Malunion Surgery

Malunion Surgery is a specialized orthopaedic procedure performed to correct fractures that have healed in an improper position. When a broken bone heals with incorrect alignment, rotation, or length, it is known as a malunion. This condition can cause chronic pain, deformity, reduced joint function, limited mobility, and difficulty performing everyday activities.

At Samarth Orthopaedic and Trauma Centre, malunion surgeries are performed using advanced surgical techniques to restore proper bone alignment, improve function, relieve pain, and help patients regain normal movement and quality of life.

What Malunion Surgery Involves

Malunion surgery focuses on correcting the abnormal alignment of a healed fracture. The procedure typically involves carefully cutting and realigning the bone (osteotomy), followed by stabilization using modern fixation devices. In some cases, bone grafting may also be required to promote optimal healing.

Types of Malunion Correction Procedures

Corrective Osteotomy: The improperly healed bone is surgically cut and realigned into its correct anatomical position.

Internal Fixation: Plates, screws, rods, or intramedullary nails are used to stabilize the corrected bone until healing is complete.

Bone Grafting: Bone grafts or bone substitutes may be used when additional bone support is needed for successful healing.

Limb Length and Alignment Correction: Specialized techniques are used to restore proper limb length and joint alignment when significant deformity exists.
