Fracture nonunion is a condition that has been known for centuries and continues to be a problem today. If the expected time for normal healing of the fracture has passed 2-3 months; if there is no union in 6 months in large fractures or if there is no progress in the graphy for at least 3 consecutive months (sometimes up to 9 months), it means that there is a fracture nonunion problem.

Open fracture, implant fracture, loosening, existing diseases may be the cause of fracture nonunion. Osteoporosis, DM, use of NSAIDs, smoking are negative factors that cause fracture nonunion.
