Complications in Fracture Healing 1 Delayed union Fractures

Complications in Fracture Healing 1 - De-layed union: Fractures that heal more slowly than anticipated. Most long bone frsctures have ragiographic evidence of bone bridging the fracture lines by 12 weeks - This bone healing anomaly is observed more frequently in highenergy traumas and in blood-limited bones.

Fracture and callus complications DR MURAT ÇALIŞKAN

Fracture nonunion is defined as an arrested fracture repair process, which requires surgical intervention to create an enviroment conductive to bone healing

3 -Mal-union: Malunions are healed fractures in which anatomic bone alignment was not achived or maintained during healing. • Mal-union; can be in the form of angulation, shortening, rotation or combinations. The most important mal-union is the mal-union of joint fractures. Deformities may be classied as valgus, varus, antecurvatum or recurvatum

4 - Osteomyelitis İnflammation of bone and bone marrow due to bacteria (staphylococcus, salmonella, brucella etc. ) -osteomyelitis occurs when bacteria reach the bone directly or through blood circulation from the skin wound associated with the bone. -may be acute or chronic.
