What does non-union lead to and how to avoid it?

Edit Post

What are the complications that could come along with non-union exactly? And how do we avoid non-union ?

They say non-union is caused by the bones not being able to heal well, Like healing at an abnormal rate, or if we lengthen too slowly or quickly..

So if we know the causes, what are the effects ? And how do we avoid non-union in the first place?

I don't smoke, I am wayy too young.
I exercise and hit the gym 3 times a week, jog on the other 4.
And I maintain a healthy diet because of my gym program.

Thanks again It means a lot to me. I really feel less nervous now.

Smoking is a downfall for this surgery.
Ruins the chances of having a safe one.

A month would be a good option since during the surgery process, Withdrawal symptoms may kick in because obviously Nicotine is highly addictive. It produces artificial levels of Dopamine in your brain. Leading to Tolerance and Addiction.

If you were to stop for around 2 months or more before surgery, You are more tempted to smoke during the surgery.
The less months you cut down, The slightly more tolerable it becomes to not smoke during surgery.

Obviously this isn't much of a difference, But it Is a difference.

But try to cut down on smoking for good.
