La no unión de fractura o pseudoartrosis, consiste en que no ha existido cicatrización entre las partes de la fractura. El tratamiento de la falta de unión de una fractura, incluye la apertura del foco de fractura, extirpando el tejido blando cicatricial y haciendo un desbridamiento parcial del extremo del hueso y recolocando los fragmentos óseos. [...] Unión defectuosa de fractura, implica que la cicatrización ha tenido lugar pero los fragmentos de la fractura están en mala posición. El tratamiento de la unión defectuosa de una fractura, en general, conlleva el corte del hueso (osteotomía), la realineación del hueso, y habitualmente se añade algún tipo de fijación interna con o sin injerto de hueso. [...] La finalidad del tratamiento de una fractura es conseguir una unión segura y restablecer la función normal del hueso tan rápido como sea posible. 1, record 1, Spanish, - falta%20de%20uni%C3%B3n%20de%20fractura

The term pseudarthrosis is often used synonymously with the term nonunion. A more limited and perhaps more accurate usage would limit use of the term pseudarthrosis to a variant of nonunion in which there is formation of dense scar tissue and a false joint with serum loculated in the cicatricial mass, the synovial pseudarthrosis. [From OTSUR, 1986, p. 80 and FRATH, 1980, p. 90.] 3, record 2, English, - nonunion

La distinction qui existe entre les termes anglais «nonunion» et «pseudarthrosis» ne se retrouve pas dans les textes français. Il serait probablement préférable de parler plutôt d'absence de consolidation (comme équivalent au terme générique anglais «nonunion») et de n'utiliser le terme pseudarthrose que lorsqu'il y a constitution d'une fausse articulation avec cavité liquidienne (pseudarthrose fibro-synoviale). 2, record 2, French, - pseudarthrose
