Primary trauma causes when an injury occurs, after treatment of primary trauma if it happens again and any damage at the site of injury, then it is known as revision trauma. Damage to the bones and soft tissue around the joints can occur at the site of the primary injury.
In this case, your doctor may recommend that you do a second operation to remove some or all of the original prosthesis and replace it with a new one. This process is known as revision surgery.
Revision trauma is different from primary injury because treating the area is a more complicated process. It requires extensive planning and use of implants and specialized tools to achieve good results.
Malunion and nonunion fractures are fundamentally different from the original fracture. Diagnosing the cause of the fracture is essential to make the best treatment plan.
Malunion occurs when broken bones heal in an abnormal position. Depending on the severity, additional symptoms of malunion can be:
Malunion cases do not always require treatment because some do not cause damage. However, if changes in bone position are significant and dangerous, surgical treatment is often needed to enable future mobility.
This fracture occurs when a broken bone does not heal after a lengthy recovery period. In some cases, it can take up to nine months for bones to change completely. If your doctor or surgeon sees no signs of progressive healing during this long period, then it may be nonunion. In this case, the body does not produce the bone tissue needed to repair broken bones. Depending on the severity of the non-association, symptoms can include the following:
Non-unions non-surgical treatments can consist of electrical stimulation or brace.
