Infection And Non Union Management

Restoring bone healing and function

Infection And Non Union Management
  • Comprehensive Infection & Non-Union Management

    Infection and non-union are complex complications that can significantly affect fracture healing and limb function. Effective management requires careful assessment of the underlying cause, previous treatments, bone and soft-tissue condition, and the presence of infection. Treatment planning may involve clinical evaluation, imaging, laboratory investigations and microbiological assessment. Based on individual findings, management can include infection control, appropriate antimicrobial therapy, surgical debridement, stabilisation, bone grafting and soft-tissue management when indicated.

  • Advanced Care for Complex Fracture Healing

    Non-union occurs when a fracture fails to progress to expected healing within an appropriate period and may be associated with mechanical, biological or infectious factors. Management focuses on identifying and addressing the factors preventing healing. Assessment may include evaluation of fracture alignment, stability, bone quality, vascularity and previous surgical interventions. Treatment is individualised and may involve revision fixation, bone grafting, biological augmentation, correction of deformity or other reconstructive procedures depending on the clinical and radiological findings.

  • Multidisciplinary Approach to Difficult Orthopaedic Cases

    Complex fracture-related infections and non-unions often require coordinated management involving orthopaedic surgery, microbiology, infectious disease specialists, radiology and rehabilitation services. Treatment may be staged, particularly when infection, bone loss, implant-related complications or soft-tissue problems are present. Surgical management can include removal of infected or failed implants, thorough debridement, restoration of stability and reconstruction of bone or soft tissue where required. Regular clinical and radiological follow-up helps assess infection control, fracture progression and functional recovery.

Diagnosis & Comprehensive Assessment

Diagnosis & Comprehensive Assessment

Detailed evaluation to identify infection, healing problems and factors affecting recovery

  • Detailed clinical assessment and review of previous treatment history
  • Evaluation of fracture stability, alignment and mechanical factors
  • X-rays and advanced imaging to assess fracture healing
  • Laboratory investigations to identify markers of infection
  • Microbiological assessment to guide targeted antimicrobial treatment
  • Evaluation of bone quality, defects and soft-tissue condition

Infection Management

Infection Management

A structured approach to infection control, tissue preservation and fracture healing

  • Identification of infection and assessment of its severity
  • Appropriate antimicrobial therapy based on microbiological findings
  • Surgical debridement to remove infected and non-viable tissue
  • Assessment and management of infected fracture fixation implants
  • Management of infected bone and compromised surrounding soft tissues
  • Monitoring treatment response and infection control over time

Non-Union & Bone Reconstruction

Non-Union & Bone Reconstruction

Restoring fracture stability and addressing biological factors that affect bone healing

  • Revision fixation to restore stability and promote fracture healing
  • Bone grafting to address selected biological healing deficiencies
  • Biological augmentation when clinically appropriate for fracture healing
  • Correction of deformity and malalignment affecting fracture union
  • Reconstruction of bone defects using appropriate surgical techniques
  • Individualised management based on mechanical and biological factors

Staged & Complex Surgical Management

Staged & Complex Surgical Management

Carefully planned surgical strategies for infection, instability, bone loss and complex reconstruction

  • Initial surgical intervention focused on controlling infection effectively
  • Thorough debridement of infected and non-viable tissues
  • Temporary or definitive stabilisation based on clinical requirements
  • Implant management according to infection and fracture stability
  • Bone and soft-tissue reconstruction for complex defects
  • Definitive fixation after adequate infection control when appropriate

Rehabilitation & Long-Term Follow-Up

Rehabilitation & Long-Term Follow-Up

Structured rehabilitation and monitoring to support healing, mobility and functional recovery

  • Progressive weight-bearing according to healing and fixation stability
  • Joint mobility exercises to maintain functional range of motion
  • Muscle strengthening to restore limb function and stability
  • Gait training to improve mobility and functional independence
  • Regular imaging to monitor fracture healing progression
  • Long-term assessment for infection recurrence and functional recovery
