Non-Union Surgery is a specialized orthopaedic procedure performed to treat fractures that have failed to heal naturally, even after an extended period. A fracture is considered a non-union when the broken bone shows little or no signs of healing despite appropriate treatment. This condition can lead to persistent pain, instability, reduced mobility, and difficulty performing daily activities.
At Samarth Orthopaedic and Trauma Centre, non-union surgeries are performed using advanced surgical techniques, modern fixation devices, and bone grafting procedures to promote proper bone healing, restore stability, and help patients return to an active lifestyle.
What Non-Union Surgery Involves
Non-union surgery focuses on stimulating bone healing by stabilizing the fracture and creating an ideal environment for new bone formation. Depending on the patient's condition, the procedure may involve removing unhealthy tissue, realigning the bone, using specialized implants, and performing bone grafting when necessary.
Types of Non-Union Procedures
Internal Fixation: Plates, screws, or intramedullary nails are used to stabilize the fractured bone and promote healing.
Bone Grafting: Healthy bone grafts or bone substitutes are placed at the fracture site to stimulate new bone growth.
Revision Fixation Surgery: Previously placed implants may be replaced or repositioned to improve fracture stability.
Biological Enhancement Techniques: Advanced bone healing methods may be used to encourage faster and stronger bone union in selected cases.

Joint replacement surgery is usually recommended when severe arthritis, joint damage, or chronic pain significantly affects daily activities and does not improve with medication or physical therapy.
No. Many spine conditions can be managed with medications, physiotherapy, lifestyle changes, and minimally invasive procedures before surgery is considered.
Trauma care involves the emergency treatment and management of injuries caused by accidents, falls, sports injuries, and other traumatic events.
Arthroscopy often results in smaller incisions, less pain, faster recovery, and reduced risk of complications compared to traditional open surgery.
