Reconstruction and Non-union Treatment

Don't Let a Non-Union Hold You Back - Get Advanced Treatment at American Hospital Dubai

Have you sustained a fracture that hasn't healed properly? Our orthopedics department provides superior reconstruction non-union treatment to restore your ability to move and function properly.

About Reconstruction Non-Union Treatment:

Understanding reconstructive non-union treatment involves addressing fractures that have not healed properly on their own, a condition known as non-union. This specialized treatment approach focuses on restoring bone healing and structural repositioning through surgical interventions. Orthopedic surgeons employ techniques such as bone grafting, where healthy bone tissue is transplanted to stimulate healing, and the use of fixation devices to stabilize the fracture site.

The goal of reconstructive non-union treatment is to:

• Facilitate bone union
• Alleviate pain
• Improve function

Reconstructive non-union treatment requires a comprehensive evaluation of the fracture, personalized surgical planning, and post-operative rehabilitation to achieve successful outcomes. At American Hospital Dubai, our expert orthopedic team employs advanced techniques and personalized care to effectively manage non-union cases.

Who Needs Reconstruction Non-Union Treatment?

You might be an ideal candidate for reconstructive non-union treatment if you experience:

• Persistent pain at the fracture site
• Difficulty bearing weight on the affected limb
• Limited mobility or stiffness in the joint
• Deformity or instability at the fracture site
• Previous fracture fixation attempts that haven't been successful

What Happens During Reconstruction Non-Union Treatment?

Our team carries out comprehensive assessments involving X-rays and other imaging tests to evaluate the extent of the non-union and determine the most ideal course of action. The types of reconstruction nonunion treatment includes:

• Surgical intervention: For more complicated cases, this method is frequently used. Minimally invasive techniques are usually used by our doctors whenever applicable to ensure a speedy recovery and healing after surgery.
• The operation involves removing scar tissue, realigning broken bone pieces, and placing scaffolds on which new bones could grow through grafts like using subchondroplasty knee implants.
• Bone grafting: To promote the curing of bones fresh cells can be introduced into a union point from either autograft (own body) or allograft (donor).
• Biologic adjuvants: These substances can help increase bone growth and can be used alongside bone grafting.
• External fixation: Occasionally, an external fixation device is used to stabilize a broken bone and promote healing.

Aftercare Tips Following Reconstruction Non-Union Treatment:

To facilitate favorable healing, adhering to the doctors’ guidelines after surgery is important. Here are some of the tips:

• Pain medication: Your doctor will provide you with pain relief drugs.
• Rehabilitation workouts: To regain elasticity, power, and motion range about that specified part, you will need to undergo rehabilitation exercises.
• Weight-bearing restrictions: For about three months or so, you may require crutches or a walker as an alternative in order not to apply strain on a curing bone.
• Regular checkups: Attending your appointments as scheduled ensures monitoring of your progress by your physician, making changes in your treatment plan accordingly if required.
