Pseudarthrosis (or "nonunions") is the movement of a bone at the location of a fracture resulting from inadequate healing of the fracture.

Pseudarthrosis can also result from a developmental failure.

Etymology

The Latin root "pseud" means false and "arthrosis" means joint. "Pseudarthrosis", then, is a false joint.

Treatment

The point of movement can be treated with electrical stimulations that hopefuly will trigger the bone cells to form the hydroxyapatite structure that keeps bones from bending too much.
