Fractures that haven’t healed, or have healed in the wrong position. Revision surgery can help the bone heal, correct its shape, and bring back strength and function.
A non-union is a fracture that has stopped healing, so the ends of the bone are still separate.
A malunion is a fracture that has healed, but in a bent, twisted or shortened position.
Smoking, diabetes, infection, poor blood supply and movement at the fracture can all make it harder for a bone to heal.
A fracture that is still painful months later should be seen by an orthopaedic surgeon. Bring your old X-rays and reports.
The first step for every patient.
Planned around your X-rays and scans.
Reduces the blood flow a bone needs to heal.
Can slow healing and raise the risk of infection.
Must be treated before the bone can join.

An unstable break may not knit together.
Healing after revision surgery often takes longer than the first time.
