Non-union fracture repair is surgery performed when a broken bone has failed to heal on its own — typically defined as no healing progress on imaging for at least three consecutive months, at least six to nine months after the original injury. The operation addresses the underlying reasons the bone stalled: removing scar tissue and dead bone, correcting any misalignment, applying stable fixation (plates, screws, nails, or an external frame), and adding a bone graft to give the site the biological signals it needs to finally unite. The choice of technique depends on which bone is involved, whether infection is present, how large any bone gap is, and how the original fracture was first treated. Recovery takes longer than after a fresh fracture, and a structured physiotherapy programme is an essential part of returning to full function.
Old hardware is removed, the fracture site is cleaned, and the bone ends are re-fixed with plates, screws, or an intramedullary nail, with bone graft added to stimulate healing.
Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000
Typical tests for this variant: X-rays of the affected bone (AP and lateral), CT scan of the fracture site, CBC, ESR, CRP, Blood sugar and HbA1c, Vitamin D and calcium levels, PT/INR and coagulation profile, ECG (patients over 40 or with cardiac history). Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $5,500 – $7,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~3 days
Hospitalisation: ~4 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~12 days recommended
Total stay: approx 19 days
A circular external frame is fixed to the bone through wires; it holds the bone stable and can slowly transport a healthy bone segment across a large gap over several weeks to months.
Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000
Typical tests for this variant: X-rays of the affected bone (AP and lateral, full-length if tibia or femur), CT scan of the fracture site with 3D reconstruction, MRI to assess vascularity and soft tissue, CBC, ESR, CRP (infection markers), Blood culture if active infection suspected, Blood sugar and HbA1c, PT/INR and coagulation profile, Doppler ultrasound of limb vasculature (if vascular compromise suspected). Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $6,500 – $8,500
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~3 days
Hospitalisation: ~5 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~15 days recommended
