A member asked:
I was told that surgery is usually the next s yep when you have nonunion fracture how effective is nonunion surgery?

Current treatment of non-union bone fractures usually involves surgery to stabilize the area and the insertion of a bone graft at the site to stimulate vasculogenesis and osteogenesis (the growth of new bone). The latest research is focusing on ways of improving both the success of surgery and the speed of healing, and regenerative therapies are a particular area of interest.

Depends on the type, and location, and patient factors. But usually it is successful.
