Nonunion Fracture

Nonunion Fracture

The time it takes for a fracture to heal depends on the patient's age, the type of fracture, and the location of the shattered bone. Adult fractures often heal in 6-16 weeks, whereas children heal in 3-6 weeks. Depending on the associated condition, such as infection, shortness, or curvature, several therapeutic strategies might be employed to treat non-union fractures during this period. Cable approach in bone loss, unilateral lengthening external fixators, implanted plates and intramedullary nails, and computer-assisted smart fixators are among these methods.
