What are the symptoms of a fracture that doesn’t heal?

Fractures that do not heal may have symptoms such as pain, swelling, and impaired mobility, and require further examination in the hospital to clarify the cause of the condition.
1. Pain: It is usually due to local instability or incomplete healing within the bone, which leads to non-union of fracture with pain.
2. Swelling: If the fracture does not heal for a long time, there may be inflammation of the surrounding soft tissues, resulting in poor blood flow, which may easily cause edema around the fracture, which in turn manifests as swelling.
3. Mobility disorders: due to pain and swelling, it leads to mobility disorders of the affected limbs.
Fracture non-union imaging manifestations are widening of the fracture gap, the fracture end density increase sclerosis, the fracture end of the bone resorption to become pointed, and the imaging manifestations are more helpful for the definitive diagnosis of fracture non-union. If the phenomenon of non-union of fracture occurs, you should go to the hospital for medical treatment in time to avoid adverse consequences, and you should pay attention to rest in daily life and avoid activities.
