When bone fractures don’t heal well, it’s called malunion or nonunion. A malunion is a fracture that healed in the wrong position. A nonunion is a fracture that’s failed to heal. Various mechanical and biological factors can interfere with bone healing. Your healthcare team will address these when treating your malunion or nonunion.
Signs and symptoms of a nonhealing fracture may include:
Deep, chronic pain at the site
Lasting weakness or limited mobility
Visible deformity, like a bump or gap
If you have an infection in the bone, you may or may not have symptoms, such as:
Swelling
Fever
Chills
Diagnosis begins with a complete medical history of your injury and other conditions, followed by imaging of the bone. Imaging may include X-rays, a CT scan, or an MRI.
