A broken bone usually heals on its own with the right care. But in some cases, the healing just doesn’t happen. If months have passed and your fracture still feels painful, unstable, or shows no signs of recovery, it might be a nonunion fracture. This condition needs attention as ignoring it can lead to long-term complications.
At our Dubai clinic, Dr. Farivar Bagheri, a respected orthopedic surgeon, helps patients recover from stubborn, non-healing fractures with personalized and proven treatments. Whether it’s your first consultation or you’re looking for a second opinion for a nonunion fracture, you’re in expert hands here.
What is a Nonunion Fracture?
A nonunion happens when a bone fails to heal after a fracture. Instead of the usual recovery, the bone remains “stuck” and unable to reconnect. This can lead to ongoing pain, swelling, weakness, and difficulty with movement.
You may be dealing with a nonunion fracture if:
- The pain hasn’t gone away for months
- Your fracture site still looks or feels unstable
- X-rays show no progress in healing
- You’re unable to return to normal function
In such cases, visit a nonunion fracture specialist in Dubai – Dr Farivar Bagheri for a quick consultation.

What Causes a Fracture Not to Heal?
There isn’t always a single reason. But common causes include:
- Not enough stability at the fracture site
- Poor blood flow to the bone
- Repeated movement or stress during healing
- Smoking or health conditions like diabetes
- Past infections in the area
- Bone loss or complex fractures
Dr. Farivar carefully evaluates all possible factors before recommending a way forward.
Nonunion Bone Fracture Treatment in Dubai
Every non-union case is different. Dr. Farivar will look at your history, current condition, and recovery goals before deciding what’s best for you.
Non-Surgical Options:
- Wrist or limb bracing to reduce movement
- Bone stimulation devices to promote healing
- Biological injections (like PRP or stem cells) in suitable cases
- Targeted physical therapy to support strength and stability
Surgical Treatment:
- Internal fixation with plates or screws to stabilize the bone
- Bone grafting to encourage new growth
- Corrective surgery to revise or remove failed implants
- Infection control if needed
Surgery is only recommended when conservative options don’t work — and most patients recover well with timely care.

We will review your X-rays, listen to your concerns, and help you understand all available options — clearly and simply.
