Non-union

Non-union refers to a situation where a broken bone fails to heal and fuse back together properly. Instead of forming a solid connection, the ends of the bone remain separated, which can lead to continued pain, instability, and difficulties in movement. This condition may arise due to inadequate treatment, poor blood supply, or other underlying health issues. Non-union may require medical intervention, such as surgery or physical therapy, to promote healing and restore normal function. Addressing non-union is essential for maintaining mobility and ensuring overall bone health.
