Sir, The data given is insufficient. Non union in radius is not very common. Pls let us know. 1. Site of fracture , i.e near wrist , near elbow or midway. 2. Does the move as a single part or moves as two . I think you have a mal union and not non union.
Next Steps
repeat x ray.
Health Tips
do not go to traditional bone setters for useless treatment.
