how do you know if you have a non union fracture
Nonunion Nonunion is permanent failure of healing following a broken bone unless intervention (such as surgery) is performed. A fracture with nonunion generally forms a structural resemblance to a fibrous joint, and is therefore often called a "false joint" or pseudoarthrosis (the Greek stem "pseudo-" means false and "arthrosis" means joint). The diagnosis is generally made when there is no healing between two sets of X-ray. This is generally after 6â€“8 months.[1]
