Non-Union Fracture Treatment in Dhaka
Dr. AKM Mohiuddin treats non-union fractures at Surecell Medical, Gulshan-1, Dhaka, using stem cell therapy to support bone healing. Non-union of bone, along with avascular necrosis, is one of his stated special interests in regenerative orthopedics.
What Is a Non-Union Fracture?
A non-union fracture is a broken bone that has failed to heal within the expected time frame, generally six to nine months after injury. The bone healing process has effectively stopped before the fracture fully joined.
Symptoms of a Non-Union Fracture
Symptoms often appear well after the original injury, once healing should have already happened.
Persistent pain at the fracture site, months after the injury Movement or instability at the fracture site Swelling or tenderness that has not resolved Difficulty bearing weight or using the affected limb normally
How Dr. AKM Mohiuddin Treats Non-Union Fractures
Dr. Mohiuddin treats non-union fractures using stem cell therapy to support bone healing at the site of the fracture. As with avascular necrosis, treatment approach depends on the cause of the non-union and how the bone has responded so far.
What to Expect During Treatment
Treatment starts with imaging, usually X-ray or CT scan, to confirm the fracture has not healed and to assess the bone’s healing potential.
Based on this assessment, Dr. Mohiuddin discusses whether stem cell therapy alone is appropriate or whether it should be combined with a fixation procedure, then walks through the treatment plan and follow-up monitoring.
His primary PRP technique is PA-PRP. For more advanced cases, he uses stem cell therapy, including SVF and X-Cell protocols, to support joint tissue repair.
Is Treatment Right for You?
Suitability depends on what is causing the non-union, which can include poor blood supply to the fracture site, infection, or mechanical instability from inadequate fixation. Some cases respond to stem cell therapy alone, while others need it combined with surgical fixation.
A clinical assessment with imaging is the only way to know which approach applies to your fracture.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a non-union fracture?
A non-union fracture is a broken bone that has stopped healing before it fully joined, typically diagnosed six to nine months after the original injury.
How long does a fracture have to not heal before it is called non-union?
Generally, a fracture is considered a non-union if it has not healed within six to nine months, though this can vary depending on the bone involved and the type of fracture.
Can stem cell therapy help a non-union fracture heal?
Stem cell therapy is used to support bone healing at the fracture site in appropriately selected non-union cases. Results vary depending on the cause of the non-union and the patient.
Does a non-union fracture always need surgery?
Not always. Some non-union fractures respond to stem cell therapy alone, while others need it combined with a surgical fixation procedure. This depends on what is causing the non-union.
