Abstract

Nonunion is the interruption of fracture healing process for a variety of reasons. The cause of the disease is different, and the treatment method is also different. Non-infective nonunion is that there are no local infection factors when nonunion occurs after wound and fracture, and it is most common in all nonunion. However, it is still a difficult problem for clinical orthopaedics. With the development of medical technology orthopaedics attach great importance to this kind of nonunion and study it deeply, its incidence is getting lower and lower. Despite brilliant results, the treatment for this kind of nonunion remains tricky. The treatment of non-infective nonunion can be divided into conservative treatment and surgical treatment, and the latter is still the main treatment. This article gives a systematic review of the treatment of non-infective nonunion. Key words: Fractures, ununited; Therapies, investigational; Review; Research
